Dutch Draft Horse

Developed in Holland, the Dutch Draft Horse is generally used for farm work and heavy draft. They stand at about 16 hands and is the heaviest breed of all Dutch horses. They are extremely useful for heavy hauling, traction, and for prolonged trips. The Dutch Draft Horse is typically very quiet and slow in movements. Mixed farms in regions with sand and smaller farmers typically find the Dutch Draft horse very useful.

A massive horse, with a large, solid, and strong build, the Dutch Draft Horse has excellent leg, feet, hind quarter, and loin muscles. They have good withers, a muscled front, lively, short ears, and a straight profiled head.
