Once machines were invented, they were replaced. An average Percheron weighs up to 2,600 pounds and can be six or seven feet tall! But, don’t let their size fool you – they are gentle, loving, and eager to work.
Oh, and if you hadn’t already noticed, they are stunning! So, majestic and quite handsome! Organic farmers will still use Percheron horses instead of machines.
But, it is more common for people to have Percherons as pets. Can you imagine feeding an animal that big?!
In Great Britain, the Percheron is used for advertising, forestry and farm work and in competitions, like jumping.
