Belgians or the Shires, but more than Clydes or Suffolks. 



The Percheron is of the true draft form. Feather, or the long 



hair about the fet- 

 locks, is not found 

 in the animals of 

 this breed. The 

 head is refined in ap- 

 pearance, with good 

 width between the 

 eyes; the ears are 

 rather small and are 

 carried erect ; the 

 neck is of moderate 

 length and shows 

 less arch than is 



found in some of the other draft breeds. The action is true, 



strong, and snappy. The usual colors are gray and black, but 



often bay, brown, 



and chestnut are 



found.
