Working Horse

I do not take the credit for this photo, but thought some on here might like it.

 

Very nice picture

Can you tell me what breed of horse it is please?

 

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.

 

Thank you Sandy, good job you spelt that cos i wouldn't have

They're stunning

Are they as big as our shire horses?

 

They are 1,60m to the withers.

 

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!
