      I can @Jiffy Its a "nordsvensk brukshäst" which translates to Northern Swedish Working Horse. Not a very romantic name for a breed, I'm afraid. One of my neighbours has four of them. Its a delight to drive past his field and see them.

            They are about the same or a little bigger but not as big as our Clydesdale horses. The tallest ever was 2.2 mtrs tall, that's quite big:). God help you if any of these big boys tread on your feet. 1 of our pretty average sized horses trod on my foot a few years ago and he broke 2 of my toes...ouch!
