    Hi.. I have used Clydesdales up till now. We use horses for all manner of farm work and a small ammount of logging , I intend to step up the amount of timber work. Europe has a bigger selection of draft horses than the UK and I wondered about your breed… John

    the draft horses over here are really tall.. the Clydes and Shires have been bred for the show ring.. yes they are beautifull and very impressive at 18.2 high but not so great for plowing or logging at that high.. also very poor converters of food..
