The detail
The heavy horses of farming and freight: Percheron, Belgian, Clydesdale and Shire. They are gentle giants, calm and patient, but everything about them is bigger: feed, tack, trailers, farrier work and vet bills.
What to weigh
Drafts need oversized tack, trailers and stalls, and not every farrier will shoe them. PSSM1 is common in Belgians and Percherons, and feathered breeds are prone to chronic lymphedema.
