should weigh from 1,600 to 2,200 pounds, and 

 stand from 15.3 to 16.3 hands high. Heavy 

 weight in draft-horses is much sought after, but 

 quality and symmetry are not sacrificed for it 

 to any great extent. The conformation of the 

 draft-horse should be broad and deep in body, 

 low and heavily muscled throughout. He should 

 have long sloping shoulders with short, broad 

 and thickly muscled back and loin. The rump 

 should be of medium length and well muscled, 

 with thighs and quarters deep and strong. A 

 good depth of barrel indicates good feeding 

 capacity. Constitution and lung capacity should 

 be evidenced by deep, broad and full chest. 

 The bone and joints of the legs should be of 

 good size and show quality. The feet should 

 be large, symmetrical and of firm texture.
