I caught these two Percheron stock horses standing out in a pasture last weekend. They are gorgeous horses. Although not overly tall, normally 14-16.5 hands high , they are built stocky, & are very strong. They have a broad chest and a squareish shaped nose. Early on these were the horses of choice to carry knights into battle. In more recent times they were relegated to agricultural duty pulling wagons, plows, etc.
