Finnish Draft

Introduction:  I believe this picture is of a Finnish Draft.  If I find a better one later, I will exchange it.  If you have any comments or suggestions, please click here.

Names:  Finnish Draft.  It seems that this has melded into the Finnish horse, but I will keep a separate page for it because it evidently used to be a breed in its own right.

Origin: 

Breeding: 

Description:  Medium-weight.

Color:  Generally colored bay or brown, and now only rarely black.

Size:  About 15.2 hands.

Temperament: 

Features: 

Uses:  Today these sturdy horses are gradually disappearing; their usefulness for all kinds of heavy farm work and for draft work has now been superseded by machines.  (This was evidently written before I began citing dates for my sources so I don't know when "today" was; my guess is that it was the 1970's or 80's.)
