Different Horse Categories: Coldbloods

There are three main groups of horses warmbloods,coldbloods,and hotbloods. Today I'll be telling you about coldbloods. Coldbloods are big tall horses with a gentle temperament.Draft horses that used to be carriage horses in the old days are among the type of horses classified as "coldbloods". These horses are not actually coldblooded it's just a way for people to classify the different breeds of horses with similar characteristics. Generally speaking coldblooded horses are big and tall. They usually weigh more than the warmbloods and hotbloods. Also they are very strong with very calm and willing temperament. Many of these horses used to pull carriages or plows on farms. They are generally not used for sport as they are much heavier than other horses and slower, but nowadays they are still bred by enthusiasts. These horses are very gentle and it takes a lot to spook them which is why they're great with children. Common coldblood breeds are the Shire, Friesan,Percheron, and Haflinger. Those are what coldblooded horses are.
