I know squat about Draft horses. But I was offered a really nice Perch mare on trade for starting a colt. She is lovely but I noticed that few people use them. Seems like the Belgians are the top pick for using animals. Anyone know why?
As a rule, percherons are a little hotter blooded than belgiuns.
If you want a snappy team that will really get out and cover country, you'd probably want a percheron team.
If you wanted a slower, less hot team, that walks along slower, you'd probably want a belgiun team.
But these are just generalizations. Any particular horse or team can blow this theory all to hell! :wink:
