It originated in the Perche region of France. The breed probably stems from the Flemish 'great horse' of the Middle Ages; modified by Oriental blood to develop a coach-horse type, it was changed again in the 19th century by introduction of draft-type blood to produce animals for heavy farm work.  ]]></dc:description></metadata>
