Norman Cob Horses

The Norman Cob is a tough, hardy animal with strength, stamina, and is nice to know. Even the heavier individuals show quality and are not ponderous or sluggish. Today, the Norman Cob is used as a light to medium draft horse, although the stockier ones are strong enough to perform heavy agricultural work. The breed is mainly used in its homeland, where it can be found working on farms. Stocky but not coarse, the Norman Cob is a quality draft horse of real cob, rather than heavy horse, build. It is also an attractive energetic mover. Norman Cob Horses stand about 15 to 16 hands high.

Suffolk Punch Horses

Suffolk Punches are tough, well balanced, and extremely powerful, smaller sized heavy horses. They are able to thrive on moderate rations, begin work at three years of age and work well into their twenties. They have, on the whole, kind natures and are willing workers. Suffolk Punches are today used mainly by breweries and for showing. A few are still used on the land in Britain, more so abroad. Suffolk Punch Horses stand about 15 to 16 hands high.

Holstein Horses

The Holstein has an excellent temperament and is of a different makeup to other warmbloods, retaining the big, rangy, substantial build, yet conforming to the requirements of those who want a large, elegant, and not unduly fine performance horse. The breed is tough and hardy, having been traditionally kept outdoors in swampy marsh land. The inclusion of more Thoroughbred blood today, though, demands that the Holstein should be properly sheltered in severe weather conditions. Today, the Holstein is used for carriage driving, show jumping (for which it seems to have a natural talent), eventing (where its great stride eats up the cross country miles and often make  light of huge fences), and also in dressage, where its height and quality give it a commanding presence. It is also used by the military for parade purposes. Holstein Horses stand about 16 to 17 hands high.

It has an interesting history and retains its popularity as a farm horse in Europe. Schleswig Heavy Draft Horses stand about 15 to 16 hands high.
