Draft horses also known as draught horses or dray horses are the “gentle giants” of the animal world. Originally bred for heavy labor, these powerful animals were the backbone of pre-industrial farming. Whether they were plowing fields or hauling heavy carts, their strength and steady nature made them indispensable to human history.
