Percherons
Heavy French horses
Percherons are a breed of large draft horse originating from the Perche region of France.
Known for their muscular build, intelligence, and willingness to work, they were historically used for hauling heavy loads and farm work.
Percherons are typically gray or black, with a calm temperament that made them popular for both agricultural and urban carriage work.
The farm used Percherons to pull the hay wagons.
