My grandpa actually had some of them a few years ago. They are a very large and very calm. They were mostly used in the farms but also in the woods (One could carry a whole tree (!)). And if i remember well, they were also used in the coal mines, more than one century ago, to carry the coal trains. Some horses lived more than 10 years in the mines without see the sunlight (people back there weren't as much caring as today about animals...). Nice draw btw !
