The light breeds have a less massive body, and longer and 
more slender legs and neck than the draft type; the chest is 
narrower, the front feet closer together, and the shoulders 
more sloping; the action is quicker and more lively. To this 
class belong a number of breeds, the most famous being the 
Drart Type: PERCHERON HoRSE 
Thoroughbred and the American Trotter. These two breeds 
have furnished all our race horses. The Thoroughbreds are 
the fastest horses in the world, but it must be remembered 
that they run their races under the saddle, that is, they gallop. 
The American Trotter is the best known of all the light breeds
