Ardennes basic information

The Ardennes is one of the oldest breeds of draft horse orginating from the Ardennes area in France/North Western Europe. They are heavy-boned but agile at times, with thick legs that help when plowing fields, pulling stomps, and riding. Ardennes have a lot of Belgian blood. This increases their size and strength, which helps them pull heavy objects for long periods of time. Ardennes are usually roan or bay colored, but can sometimes be chestnut or black
