Working Horses in Rural Paddocks
A robust draft horse stands quietly in an open paddock next to a feeder piled high with fresh dry hay. These muscular animals remain central figures in traditional farm life and outdoor livestock management.
Characteristics of Heavy Draft Horses
Draft horses were historically bred for heavy labor such as plowing fields, hauling timber, and pulling farm wagons. Unlike lighter riding horses, draft breeds possess dense bone structure, broad chests, and strong muscular legs capable of pulling several tons. Constant access to forage like dry hay supports their active digestive system throughout the day.
