Best Answer

A draft breed is any breed of horse with a certain type of conformation that is conducive to heavy pulling power. Examples would be Shires, Brabants, and Percheron's. They can typically range in height from 13.2 hands and up, but most draft breeds start at 16 hands. They typically are heavy boned and 'bulky' in appearance. Draft breeds are called 'coldbloods' due to their slow and docile nature.
