The Vladimir Heavy Draft
Breed characteristics
The Vladimir Heavy Draught Horse is the heaviest and most substantial of all Russian horse breeds. Males weigh up to 1,688 pounds (766 kg) and mares weigh up to 1,507 pounds (684 kg) with height averaging 17.1 hands (69 inches, 175 cm) and mares 16.1 hands (65 inches, 165 cm).[1]
White markings may be seen on the face and legs.[2]
The Vladimir Heavy Draught Horse is considered to be docile in nature, insinuating a calm and easy to handle horse. Despite this, the Vladimir Heavy Draught Horse still retains an active gait, which is highly likely to be a characteristic from the Clydesdale input into the breed.[3]
