The Percheron Horse is a draught horse breed originating in France. Today the Percheron may be found on all continents excepting the poles. The Percheron horse is renowned for its combination of power and grace. The breed is a direct descendant of the Flemish Great Horse and owes its beauty in part to the Arabian, following the Crusades.
