Draft horse, or draught 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 the shire, Clydesdale, Noriker, jutland, Belgian, percheron, and many more.
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?) [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Schleich Clydes [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

CollectA Clydesdale Stallion. His show name is "MSS Carola's Special Gift" ;)He does pretty well against the big guys, but I think his narrow face puts him back a bit. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Hagen-Renaker Clydesdale: [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Now the Breyers, I will only say their release names since I only show a few of these. Classic scale: [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] On the left is "Flurry," a SR (special run) from last year, exclusive to the Breyer online store. This guy is glossy. On the right is a RR grey shire on the same mold.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] Flurry
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] RR
Traditional scale: [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] Carola should recognize this one Priefert's Hitch Kong, this mold is one that Breyer likes to change the gender of :roll:This model is a gelding. RR
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] SR Treasure Hunt model, "Fall"
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] Yes, I know his ear is curled
This guy is the same mold as Fall, [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
But he's Classic scale! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] The mold is traditional, but he's made of porcelain and porcelain shrinks. He is Moritz, a limited run of 2,500.
Stablemates: All are RRs [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Micro minis: [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] The one on the far left is special, Breyer has this promotion going on where in each box of mini whinnies, there is only one gold horse. 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. :DI opened the package, and it was the gold one! :cheers: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.

I'll tell you, these micro minis are TINY! No, it should probably be written tiny
Wait, are we missing someone?
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] Ah, yes! We can't forget Princess!
Anyway, the micro minis are tiny [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

| (Welcome here Emy92 ) As most of you might have noticed, the draft horses are my absolute favorites. Or rather coldblooded, which also includes Haflingers, Friesians and Fjords (- and possibly many others). I just do not consider those breeds to be under the heavy draft category, so I did not include them here (Please correct me, if my assumptions are wrong) Anyway, here are my Drafters Tinkers [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Black Forest [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Ardennes [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Percheron [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Percheron & Clyde [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Belgian SM Mold mini conga [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Suffolk Punch [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Clydesdale [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Shires [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]The King [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]The Queen [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Princess with her Best friend Clydesdale Mare [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]With halter [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Always sweet and curious [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]All of them [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]I have more drafters on their way to my collection.

| Thank you Stardust, for shoving your drafts! you have a lot of beauties. I have enjoyed every picture, and love the names you have given them. Also thanks for telling what brands they are, because I don't know so well other brands than the newer Schleich. Lucky you having the wagon set for the Schleich Clydesdale gelding! |
