Suffolk Punch
Chestnut draft breed
A Suffolk Punch is a breed of draft horse originating in Suffolk, England—one of the oldest and rarest heavy horse breeds.
Stocky and powerful with a distinctive chestnut coat, Suffolk Punches were bred for farm work.
The name "punch" suggests their compact, solid build: The Suffolk Punch pulled the plow through heavy clay soil.
