THE HOKSE

The Big Draft Horse. Tlie^^isiftj^me when men 

 began to breed horses for different uses. When they 

 wished work horses that could draw very heavy 

 loads at a slow pace, they selected the heavy, stout- 

 limbed animals that had strong muscles; and by 

 using these as parents they reared more like them. 

 Gradually the colts of these horses grew stronger 

 and larger, and so the draft horse was developed.
