Italian Heavy Draft The Italian Heavy Draft stands
between 14.2 and 15.3 hh.
They are generally chestnut (usually with flaxen
mane
and tail), although they may be red roan, or bay.
The head is light for a draft breed, with a straight or
slightly convex profile, and it is set on a short, broad
and
muscular neck. The withers are fairly pronounced
and
muscular, the chest broad and deep, and the
shoulders sloping. The back is straight and short,
the flanks short and rounded, with a sloping croup.
The legs are short, with broad joints and smallish,
though well-formed, hooves. It closely resembles
the Bretob breed, which
was used heavily in the creation of the Italian
Heavy
Draft.
