Draft Horses?
In Response To: Heavy Horses ()

]
] In England, a "shire" horse is a specific breed, and a "Belgian" is usually referred to as Percheron. The generic term is "Heavy Horse".

I thought the Generic term was 'Draft Horse', or is this an American term? Percheron and Belgian would be the specific breed.
