Draught Breeds
Note: Many draught breeds including: Clydesdales, Percherons, and Shires normally have their tails docked (illegal in some places), in working horses I tend to over look this, but not in "just showing for a pretty ribbon". Many maker's make draughts with docked tails, I prefer a natural tail on my big guys and gals (not easy to find in OF plastic the only RR that I know of are Breyer's Wintersong and Breyer's Classic Shire.. Stone has them as FCM that cost a lot of money) Sadly most of my draughters do have bobbed tails :(

Some owners/trainers allow the front hooves to over grow to off set the horse, to get more high leg action, others may use other devices.

Also I spell draught this way unless the breed specifically states draft. please don't email me telling me 'draught' is incorrect.

Feather is a recessive trait. If you breed a non-feathered draught to a feathered draught, the resulting foal will have little to no feathering. My feathered NASDH are specifically breed with high concentration of heavy feathered breeds to produce a heavily feathered Spotted Draft.
