Seen at Wade House Historic site. Suffolks are the only draft breed originally developed exclusively as a plow horse. Also known as the Suffolk Punch, this breed has a rich history of draft use going back to 1506. Isolated from their neighbors, the farmers of England's Norfolk and Suffolk counties needed a draft breed to plow the heavy native clay soil, so they developed a docile agricultural horse with power, stamina, health and longevity. The farmers needed their horses to till and harvest their own lands, so horses were seldom sold. The Suffolk has therefore remained relatively unknown, and also pure and true to its original type and purpose of agricultural work.
A stout rounded appearance is what puts the "punch" into the Suffolk Punch. The breed's short, strong conformation gives it the power that makes it well suited for agriculture. Lack of feathering allows Suffolks to work efficiently in heavy or wet ground. Short cannon bones and muscular shoulders and forearms give them excellent "pull" and efficient leverage for their size, as well as bringing them closer to the ground and making them easier to harness, groom, and trailer than the taller draft breeds. One of the least numerous draft breeds in the United States, Suffolks are listed by the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy under the status "rare."

The proposed draft rules would repeal the Special Acts of Gilchrist, Indian River, and Manatee counties by creating 68B-3.003, FAC (Repeal of Gilchrist County Special Acts); 68B-3.004, FAC (Repeal of Indian River County Special Acts); and 68B-3.005, FAC (Repeal of Manatee County Special Acts).
The repeal of these Special Acts is a continuation of the rule cleanup process that includes the evaluation of all of these localized rules that pre-date the statewide regulation of saltwater fisheries and either repeal or revise them as required. Staff has determined that the Special Acts of Gilchrist, Indian River, and Manatee counties are no longer needed to achieve the agency mission and that their repeal would eliminate unnecessary rules and streamline FWC marine fisheries regulations.

Also known as the Belgian Draught, Belgian Draft, Brabancon (Brabant) and Belgian Heavy draft. Until the early 1900s there were three similar yet distinct types of Belgian breeds. The "Big Horse of the Dendre", the "Colossal Horse of Mehaigne" and the "Grey Horse of Nivelles". Over time, these horses were bred together and the final result is the Belgian of today. - History of the Breed
The Belgian draft horse is one of the oldest of the draft horse breeds. The Brabant horse is quite possibly connected directly to the Forest horse, one of the four original types of horses.
From my Ukrainian archive .Military draft in small Ukrainian village.
It was the third year of our pointless presence in Afghanistan.Senseless presence for which we paid the price: 13 thousand young lives (official info).But we suspected, we lost more.
As I recall, nobody laughed among those people-friends and relatives-who came to say" bye" to young man and wish him luck,nobody even smiled and women's eyes were full of tears.
