American Draft Horse History
The draft horse was a vital part of agricultural development in the United States during the 18th century with the average-size of farms ranging from 100 to 500 acres. As Americans moved west during the 19th century to pursue inexpensive land and gold, the draft horse was employed by the railroad companies to haul dirt and carry ties, rails and supplies.Today, the draft horse is seen mostly in show rings competing in horse pull competitions. It is still used for some specialty farming and logging.Eastern Draft Horse Association: [1]
