Our Horses
Our horses are grey Percherons. Percherons were originally bred as war horses. The knights needed a strong, stout, and most importantly, brave horse to carry them and all of their armor into battle. When they were no longer needed in battle, Percherons were used to pull stagecoaches across France, omnibuses through cities, and to plow fields.
The Percheron was an ideal horse for any job because it had an easygoing disposition, its strength allowed it to pull loads several times its own weight, and its endurance allowed it to work all day.
