About the Brabancon Breed
.Low-lying areas of Belgium with fertile
soil and succulent herbage produced a large, very heavy draught
horse, with great power of traction. Brabancon, as it is called,
stands between 16 and 17 hands and has great weight, which increases
its tractive ability. It has a very good temperament and is
a willing worker, which, together with a strong constitution,
makes it popular. It was used to a great extent for crossing
with the Rhenish horse, while those imported to England had
a certain influence on forming the Shire breed. Brabancons are
also bred in Russia, in the Gorki province, as pure or grade
stock, and some of them are registered in state or district
studbooks.
Brabancons were also used for crossing with the old Belgian
mountain breed of Ardennes to increase their size and weight.
Belgium, Holland and the Northern parts of France have always
been famous for producing heavy draught horses of real worth,
so much indeed that their export has always been a very considerable
trade. It is small wonder therefore that the Brabancon, with
its 16 to 17 hands, its great weight and enormous strength,
has not only always found a ready market in many parts, but
has also proved invaluable for crossing.
When considering the origin of any heavy draught horse from
any Continental country, which also includes England, it may
be assumed that in many cases there has been a considerable
admixture of the blood of various breeds. Bearing this in mind,
it is interesting to note that in spite of this, the breeds
themselves, whatever they may be, whether Shire, Clydesdale,
Percheron, Ardennes or Brabancon, retain the characteristics
of the breed itself.
The future of all cold-blooded breeds is now in the balance.
Their future must be a question of haulage economics, with which
is involved the willingness or otherwise of labour to work the
hours demanded by the keeping of horses – in short, week-end
feeding.
