| Sorry Andreas, the draft horses did win! Draft horse, ( a.k.a. draught horses and heavy horses) are a type of horse with a heavier build, used for logging, harness, recreation, and showing. These horses are known for their very muscular build and tall height, ranging between 16-19 hands and weighing 1,400 to 2,000 pounds. Some examples of draft breeds are as follows: Ardennes Auxois Boulonnais Brabant Breton Clydesdale Comtois Dole Gusbrandsdal Dutch Heavy Draft Freiberger Irish Draft Italian Heavy Draft Jutland Latvian Harness Horse Lithuanian Heavy Draft Muräkozi Noriker Normandy Cob North Swedish Horse Percheron Poitevin Rhineland Heavy Draft Russian Heavy Draft Schleswig Heavy Draft Shire Sokolsky Soviet Heavy Draft Suffolk Punch Toric Trait du Nord Vladimir Heavy Draft A common misconception is that all coldblooded horses are draft breeds. This is not true. All draft breeds are "coldblooded," but not all coldblooded horses are drafts At least in the United States, Drum Horses (a.k.a Gypsy Vanners, Vanners, Tinkers, Gypsy Tinkers) and Friesians are considered carriage breeds, not draft breeds. However, other countries consider these two breeds drafts as well as Fjord horses, Haflingers, and other breeds that we consider ponies in America. So, show us who you consider is a draft horse! (Also, that helps avoid confusion, hopefully ) Now for my drafters, I have a few Schleich Percherons [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Schleich "Heavy Horse" (Suffolk Punch?)

I found out there is a special code you can use to figure out which one in the box is the gold one, and I thought for sure it was the right horse at the store where I found it, but the part of the code that would tell me for sure wasn't there! I decided to buy that package anyway, and bought a traditional set there too. The store owner gave me the mini whinny for free. I opened the package, and it was the gold one! There used to be a voucher in the package too, that gave you the chance to win a Breyerfest ticket, but that promotion is over, so I didn't get that voucher. Not that I would have won it anyway.

| Ooh, the best SUY (for my tastes ) I will soon have photos to show too What a wonderful opening of this topic, you have so many great drafters LeeAnn I love especially 'Fall', what gorgeous model and colour. And Kong ofcourse (I look VERY much forward to get mine , and ofcourse I'll post photos here ) "MSS Carola's Special Gift" I forgot how great he actually is The Brabant (I assume) Stablemate is really wonderful too. Really lovely colour and detailed for such a small model I love also Princess with the Mini Whinny And despite being white and pink and girly, she is a Draft _________________ ~ Portfolio & Online Comic ~

| Fantastic presentation and figures, Leeann! Here is my poor contribution about draft horses. My little collection of modern horses is not very "stable". :geek:After Jonas akhal-teke, I think I can only think in customs! Schleich Irish setter shows size. Papo Shire mare and Mojo Clydesdale. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]These Britains Shires are the only vintage drafts but these I want to keep "forever" and I would love to add the Suffolk and also one of old composition drafts from Lineol or Hausser. Though, those are only dreams at the moment. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] |
