Ardennes
The ardennes is an old breed and may be viewed on most photo sites featuring draft horse breeds.
The breed is a result of many interbreeding, thus there were added the bloods of such breeds as Arabian and Belgian Draft aiming at increasing the size and strength of the animals. Julius Caesar (100 - 44 BC) declares in his commentaries that "the horses of the second Belgium" are "rustic, hard and tireless" and he recommended their use "in heavy cavalry work".
