heavy horse
Large working equine
A heavy horse is a large, muscular draft breed developed for pulling loads rather than riding or racing.
Clydesdales, Percherons, Shires, and Belgians are heavy horses, bred historically for farm work, hauling freight, and pulling artillery.
They contrast with light horses bred for speed or agility: The brewery still uses heavy horses to pull its wagons.
