Hungarian Draft...?

Thursday, May 9, 2024 11:30 PM

I've been researching draft breeds for a couple of custom Gustavs who've recently joined my herd. I'm rather leaning towards Hungarian Draft: http://www.theequinest.com/breeds/hungarian-draft/

Info is hard to find, though, and it's not in the OMHPS breed list. Is the Hungarian Draft known by another name, or am I chasing an ephemera...?

The only draft breed I can think of that is native to Hungary, is the Muraköz (https://www.murakozilo.com/)

Thankee ma'am. This one was on my short list, but after some more reading I settled on Schleswiger: https://breeds.okstate.edu/horses/schleswiger-heavy-draft-horses.html as I think it works pretty well for Sebastian here: https://www.omhps.com/Model/Details/0a7cd3d1-e304-495a-8781-c7ff99ba7bf8

I briefly had him as a Comtois until I realized he really has too much white for that breed standard, especially his face! ;-D
