Jutland

Denmark's heavy horse is a breed known as the Jutland.  The Carlsberg brewery uses Jutlands to haul the brewery wagons- as many as 210 Jutland horses were used by the brewery, and today there are still about twenty used to transport beer in Copenhagen.  The breed and brewery are promoted by the Jutland horses when the Carlsberg brewery enters their Jutlands in shows, films and festivals.

Jutland horses are a medium sized draft horse that has a quick and free moving action.  Their coats are a pretty chestnut color with a flaxen tail and mane.  Similar to the Suffolk breed, the horses are round in body with massive quarters.  The breed is hard working and tireless, kind and a willing worker.  They have short forelegs and the lower legs have coarse feathering.
