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.  ]]></termNote><termCreatedDate>2026-03-30 21:08:40</termCreatedDate><relation><relationType>UF</relationType><termId>31477816</termId><termName>Percheron</termName><termType>ND</termType></relation><relation><relationType>BT</relationType><termId>31469371</termId><termName>Equus caballus</termName><termType>PT</termType></relation></term>  </Zthes>
