Usually Horses can pull heavy loads....It depends on how heavy the load is really....It if was luggage, a horse could do the job!
Shire horses are not typically known for their jumping ability. They are a heavy draft breed that is better suited for pulling heavy loads rather than jumping obstacles. If you are looking for a horse for jumping, a breed such as a Thoroughbred or Warmblood would be more suitable.
the difference between a draft horse and a thoroughbred, well. there is size. usually draft horses are HUGE and thoroughbreds are smaller, for speed. they both have large muscles but for different purposes. the thoroughbred for racing and the draft breeds for pulling heavy items. there is also that a draft horse has feathering around it's hoofs and legs. draft (most likely about 18hh) thoroughbred (most likely about...16hh) (i'm sorry but the pictures did not show up :( )

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."
