In France particularly farmers cling to the horse in preference to the machine and their sturdy 

 Percherons render tireless work in the rich plains of the French Middle West, the granary 

 of France. The Percheron, which was developed in a district of Eastern Normandy kxiown 

 as La Perche, is perhaps the most popular and famous heavy draught horse in existence. 

 It is exceptionally short legged but at the same time surprisingly active and is docile enough 

 to be easily handled.
