Percherons, the gentlest of giants
The heavy draft horses definitely have a place in our world today. All over the world people are beginning to realise this and there is a massive resurgence of interest in all the heavy draft horse breeds; not just because of a nostalgia trip, but because practically they are wonderful animals. They are used for everything from general hacking to working your small farm. Heavy draft horses have a reputation for having fabulous temperaments and the ones I know best are the ones we breed - the Percherons. When you get on a Percheron’s back for the first time they smile, provided of course they have not been beaten and bullied into submission. They are the gentlest of giants.
