Draft horses are called so because they were originally bred and used for tasks that required pulling heavy loads, or "drafting." They are known for their strength and ability to work for long hours pulling heavy equipment or hauling heavy loads. The term "draft" comes from the Old English word "dragan," meaning "to draw or pull."
their main function was to pull heavy machinery and plough fields.
Until the advent of tractors in the late 19 th century, horses were the only means of pulling ploughs or heavy wagons in agriculture.
