SCORED BY DATE 



The head and neck show considerable size, without 

 the delicate chiseling of head of the lighter horse. The neck 

 is heavily muscled and will not impress one as having as 

 much length as seen in the carriage horse. 



The shoulders of the draft horse are usually less sloping 

 than those of the lighter type, and are not laid back in quite 

 as smoothly. The slower, more moderate draft action is 

 associated with this upright form of shoulder.
