What is flemish horses?

Flemish horses, also known as Belgian draft horses, are a breed of draft horse that originated in Belgium. They are one of the strongest and most powerful horse breeds in the world, with an average weight of around 2,000 to 2,200 pounds and a height of 16 to 17 hands (64 to 68 inches at the shoulder).

Flemish horses have a striking appearance with a muscular body, long, thick mane and tail, and wide, expressive eyes. They come in a variety of colors, including sorrel, chestnut, bay, roan, and black.

These horses were bred primarily for farm and carriage work, and they are known for their strength, stamina, and gentle nature. They are often used in forestry work and in urban areas for pulling heavy loads.

The breed has a long history and was used extensively in both World War I and II for military purposes due to their strength and durability. The breed has also been used in crossbreeding with other draft horse breeds to create larger, more powerful horses for heavy pulling and farming work.

Today, Flemish horses are seen in many countries around the world, and they continue to be admired for their size, strength, and gentle nature.
