What are the 5 most popular draft horse breeds today?
It is hard to pin a ribbon on the five tallest breeds. The most
noted tall breed is the Shire, with Samson (a Shire gelding) being
the largest horse to ever live. Close behind are the over cold
blood, or "draft/draught" horses such as the Irish Draught, the
Percheron, or the Belgian. Some warmbloods can reach good size at
high 16 hands or low 17 hands. Some crossbreeds can also reach a
good size.
