Horse Work

Most people use horses for pleasure, such as riding and competition. They don't normally use them for draft work anymore but there are people who still do.
Draft horses are capable of pushing and/or pulling different things. The term "draft" derives from the word draught, which means to pull. Some of the basic things they do is plow fields, pull carts, and just overall work.

Some of the most common draft breeds are:
  • American Creams
  • Clydesdales
  • Belgians
  • Friesians
  • Shires
 Here is a video of a couple draft horses at work.
 This isn't much but is there anything anyone would like to add?
