The Suffolk Punch - Descendant of medieval great horse

The Suffolk is a descendant of the medieval Great Horse. The Suffolk Punch was developed in Norfolk and Suffolk and is one of the oldest heavy horse breeds. They have stamina and are very powerful. They are also docile and are very easy to handle.

They stand 15-17 hands. They have very muscular, arched necks, short strong backs and strong, upright shoulders. Their hips are broad and the tail is high. Their legs look short and are without feathers. They are usually chestnut in various shades. Their white markings are rare and limited to small areas on the face and lower legs.

The Suffolk Punch tends to be shorter but stockier in build. In the past, the Suffolk was often criticised for its poor feet, having hooves that are too small for its body, however this has been corrected through breeding.
