Heavy horses played a pivotal role in the development of western
economies, toiling in mines and quarries, factories and docks,
alongside canals and railways and on farms. But, following the
introduction of motorized machinery their number plummeted and some
breeds came close to extinction in the 1950s. Interest has been
revived and today Shires, Clydesdales, Suffolks and British
Percherons attract special attention wherever they are seen, their
strength, endurance and magnificence ensuring them a place in the
modern world.
This new edition examines the various breeds of heavy horse and
their qualities, their historical role, the industry that built up
around them and their modern revival, bringing the story up to date
and celebrating the work of those whose determination has ensured
that heavy horses have a bright future.
