JUDGING DRAFT HORSES 



but usually in pairs and four-in-hand hitches. Single and 

 six-in-hand hitches are rather uncommon, especially the 

 latter, except for show ring purposes. The drafter should 

 be low set, compact, and smooth in finish. This class is 

 characterized from the logger largely by the superior quality, 

 greater symmetry, and unblemished condition which they 

 should possess. Drafters are sometimes divided into light 

 and heavy.

Logger. Loggers are a complement to drafters except 

 for smoothness, quality, and finish. Such animals are 

 often used for rough, heavy work where general appearance, 

 such as quality and finish, are not required. Loggers may 

 be blemished without detracting seriously from their value, 

 as they are used chiefly in lumber camps or other work where 

 showy appearance is not an important attribute.
