draft horse
Heavy pulling breed
A draft horse is a large, heavily built horse bred for pulling heavy loads—plows, wagons, brewery carts.
Breeds like Clydesdales, Percherons, and Belgians were essential to agriculture and transport before mechanization.
Draft horses are distinguished from riding horses by their massive frames, broad chests, and patient temperaments suited to sustained labor rather than speed.
