SHIREHORSE

The Shire horse is often considered the largest horse breed in the world. Originating from England, these gentle giants are known for their impressive height and strength. Shires typically stand between 16 to 18 hands (64 to 72 inches) tall, and some exceptional individuals have been recorded to exceed 19 hands. They have a muscular build, with a broad chest and long, powerful legs. Shires are predominantly black, bay, or gray, and they have a calm and docile temperament, making them a favorite for both work and show.

CLYDESDALE HORSE

Clydesdales, originating from Scotland, are another iconic large horse breed. They are slightly smaller than Shires, standing around 16 to 18 hands tall. Clydesdales are easily recognizable by their distinctive feathering on the lower legs and their high-stepping gait. These horses are often bay in color with white markings, including a blaze on the face and white stockings.

HORSE BELGIANDRAFT

The Belgian Draft horse, also known simply as the Belgian, is a powerhouse originating from Belgium. These horses are built for strength and are used extensively in heavy farm work and pulling competitions. They typically stand between 16.2 to 17 hands tall, with some individuals reaching even greater heights. Belgians are usually chestnut or roan with a flaxen mane and tail.

PERCHERONHORSE

Percherons hail from the Perche region of France and are known for their versatility and strength. They are slightly smaller than Shires and Clydesdales, standing around 15.2 to 17 hands tall. Percherons are often gray or black, with a well-muscled body and a graceful yet powerful gait. Historically used in war and agriculture, these horses are now popular in carriage driving and logging due to their agility and endurance.

SUFFOLKPUNCH

The Suffolk Punch is a unique and ancient breed from England, distinguished by its solid chestnut color and compact, powerful build. Standing around 16 to 17 hands tall, Suffolk Punches are known for their hardiness and ability to work long hours without tiring. They have a strong, muscular body, a broad back, and a kind, willing temperament.

DUTCHDRAFT HORSE

One of the biggest horse breeds but not among the tall horses, the Dutch draft has a stocky build and mostly comes with an ebony coat, speckled with gray and black. It has a broad chest, perfect for pulling carriages, heavily feathered legs covering the hooves, and rather relatively small eyes and ears for its massive size.

AMERICANCREAM DRAFT

The American Cream Draft is not just one of the large horse breeds but is also a rare one, with a height of 16 hands and weight of 2,000 pounds.

In the horse world, the American Cream Draft is valued for its beauty with a size as impressive as its beautiful cream-colored coat, white flowing mane and tail, and striking gold or amber eyes.
