About the Dutch Draught Breed
.The Dutch Draught Horse belongs to the most
massively built and most heavily muscled breeds of Europe. The
official descent can be traced back to the second half of the
19th century by means of the Studbooks of the Royal Netherlands
Draught Horse Society, which covers the whole of the country
and includes all Dutch Draught Horse breeders, its aim being
the improvement and promotion of Draught Horses in the Netherlands.
In order to consolidate the characteristics of the breed, no
horses of unknown pedigree have since 1925 been entered in its
Studbook, and this is the only one in Holland that is based
upon absolutely pure breeding, since only the progeny of officially
registered parents is made eligible for entry. Horses are not
entered until their pedigree has been carefully checked and
an accurate description has been supplied. When a registered
horse is over two and a half years, it can be entered into the
Preferential Studbook, after passing a special examination of
its conformation. For an even further grading of preferential
mares and stallions, inter-provincial prize examinations are
held at regular intervals, and once a year a national show is
held, at which not only conformation but also breeding achievements
and pedigree are judged.
Draught Horse breeding in the Netherlands has developed rapidly
and has been pursued in all provinces for many decades, and
is now very successfully carried on throughout the country,
on all types of soil, including sandy, peaty and heavy silty
soils. Today the breed is recognises as being docile under all
circumstances, willing, and active, with a pleasant, courageous
disposition. It is famous for its exceptionally long working
life – it can be used for light work on the farm at two
years or even under – for its durability, great fecundity
and excellent breeding performance. It has a quiet and intelligent
temperament and great stamina. Last, but not least, it is very
moderate in its feeding requirements and can be successfully
maintained on plain fare.
Description: The Dutch Draught Horse is a massive, hard, deep
animal of heavy build. The neck is very short, carrying a not
too heavy head, with withers little developed and shoulders
more often than not heavily loaded. The legs are well placed,
correctly shaped and heavily muscled, with good feet; the forequarters
are well developed and massive, the back strong and wide with
well-sprung ribs, and the hindquarters wide, heavy and powerful.
The tail is low-set, the croup sloping more perhaps that in
any other breed. Colour bay, chestnut or grey: black is rarely
seen.
