Suffolk Punch - Video Learning - WizScience.com
The Suffolk Punch, also historically known as the Suffolk Horse or Suffolk Sorrel, is an English breed of draught horse. The breed takes the first part of its name from the county of Suffolk in East Anglia, and the name Punch from its solid appearance and strength. It is a heavy draught horse which is always chestnut in colour, traditionally spelled by the breed registries. Suffolk Punches are known as good doers, and tend to have energetic gaits.
The breed was developed in the early 16th century, and remains similar in phenotype to its founding stock. The Suffolk Punch was developed for farm work, and gained popularity during the early 20th century. However, as agriculture became increasingly mechanised, the breed fell out of favour, particularly from the middle part of the century, and almost disappeared completely. Although the breed's status is listed as critical by the UK Rare Breeds Survival Trust and the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy, there has been a resurgence in interest, and population numbers are increasing. As well as being used for farm work, the breed pulled artillery and non-motorised commercial vans and buses. It was also exported to other countries to upgrade local equine stock. Today, they are used for draught work, forestry and advertising.
Suffolk Punches generally stand , weigh 1980 to, and are always chestnut in colour. The traditional spelling, still used by the Suffolk Horse Society, is . Horses of the breed come in many different shades of chestnut, ranging from dark to red to light. Suffolk horse breeders in the UK use several different colour terms specific to the breed, including dark liver, dull dark, red and bright. White markings are rare and generally limited to small areas on the face and lower legs. Equestrian author Marguerite Henry described the breed by saying, His color is bright chestnut – like a tongue of fire against black field furrows, against green corn blades, against yellow wheat, against blue horizons. Never is he any other color.
The Suffolk Punch tends to be shorter but more massively built than other British heavy draught breeds, such as the Clydesdale or the Shire, as a result of having been developed for agricultural work rather than road haulage. The breed has a powerful, arching neck; well-muscled, sloping shoulders; a short, wide back; and a muscular, broad croup. Legs are short and strong, with broad joints; sound, well-formed hooves; and little or no feathering on the fetlocks. The movement of the Suffolk Punch is said to be energetic, especially at the trot. The breed tends to mature early, be long-lived, and is economical to keep, needing less feed than other horses of similar type and size. They are hard workers, said to be willing to pull a heavily laden wagon till dropped.

Grace's 1st sitting
This was taken within Grace's first few minutes off the trailer at Hand-In-Hand Farm on her very first day as my newest addition! She is a 10 year old Foundation brood mare number 109 for a new breed called the American Drum Horse. Look them up, they are really neat. And my Grace is one of the first! She is also full Clydesdale. If you're confused, I'll explain in later posts.
Grace had never been ridden before. In the next video, taken just a few minutes later, she is bridled for the first time in her life and I ride her for the first official ride of her career!
I plan to use her at Hand-In-Hand Farm for beginners and large/ heavy people to ride. We should have her ready for that around the end of June. I also desperately want to use her for driving, but I don't have the equipment to do it with. She's so big, we don't currently have any harness that will fit her well enough for use. We also don't have any carts or wagons big enough for her to fit. But someday, we hope to have her set up so that kids who are working hard at changing their lives can take their whole family for wagon rides in the mountains.
