All around the world, there are more than 300 horse breeds that are categorized within 5 major categories due to the different characteristics that they have from each other. not only do these 5 major categories determine the most evident differences between these horses, the breeds within the same major category are distinguished from each other as well.
However, a few breeds are relatively more successful than the others and definitely stand out from the rest of the group. One of these breeds is represented in the videos below and the title of this article is self-explanatory about which breed I am referring to, and they are Belgian Drafts. The first thing that the breed is known about is definitely their size, they are one of the biggest.
Due to their size, they have been used in a lot of activities that require a lot of power such as carrying woods, pulling tracks, etc. Of course, technology development does no longer requires them to be in such activities, nevertheless, a lot of people, especially in Belgium who are involved in old methods of getting a job done still use them. One of these traditions, as we have seen previously here was fishing shrimps where all the fishermen did it while they were walking on top of horses at the same time.
In the video below you’ll have a chance to see a part of the show of the 123rd national competition held on 10 December 2017. You’ll be stunned by these horses as they show off their best part and gentleness. You will get to witness one of the most majestic videos that you have ever seen. These horses are simply gorgeous and they really know how to steal an audience.
What is also worth to be mentioned is that they were not intimidated by the huge number of people who came to see them so they just continued with the performance as it had been planned. Personally, I do believe that this breed is one of the most beautiful horse breeds in the world and there is no surprise that it is actually among the most expensive horse breeds.
