Excerpt from Judging of Draft Horses, Vol. 10: April, 1915

In taking up the study of any class of animals it is important to learn first, the purpose for which the class is being developed and second, the essential requirements that will fit an animal of the class best to fulfill its purpose. In the study of horses it is found that they can be grouped into five classes, each class possessing its own special requirements. The classes are (1) draft, (2) heavy harness, (3) light harness, (4) saddle, and (5) ponies. Under each class there may be sub-classes, (1) heavy, (2) medium, and (3) light.

The draft horse is a heavy horse standing not less than 15� hands in height and weighing not less than 1,600 pounds. The weight is due to the breadth and depth of body and to the heavy development of bone and muscle. He is developed for pulling heavy loads at a slow pace, and to perform this task economically, he must be developed along certain lines which tend for massiveness and strength.

In order to learn the special requirements of the different parts of a horse, a score card is often used. After a knowledge of these requirements and their relative importance is obtained, the student is able to proceed with comparisons and later with the actual judging of the draft horse.
