dray horse
Brewery wagon horse
A dray horse is a large, powerful horse bred for hauling heavy loads, particularly the flat-bed wagons called drays used for transporting barrels, crates, and other cargo.
Breeds like Clydesdales and Shires served as dray horses for breweries and freight companies before motor vehicles replaced them.
The term evokes an era of horse-drawn commerce: The dray horses pulled wagonloads of beer through cobblestone streets.
