From my video earlier this month:

Our final BC of the season will be the Percheron. This breed was developed in France as an agricultural and carriage horse, and then became extremely popular with the American Farmer where they plowed millions of acres in the early 1900s. The Percheron truly was the farmer's companion and partner.

The percheron breed has seen a wide range of morphologies over its history. These days there are two main types of Percheron. Le Trait, which is a very heavy type suitable for agricultural work and heavy wagon pulling and, Le Diligencier (Dili-john-see-a) which means The Stagecoach. Diligencier Percherons are lighter and showy-er than Le Trait with fancy knee action. I find the Diligencier Percherons to be more iconic and distinct in appearance from other draft breeds which is why I chose this type to represent Percherons in my game.

The Percheron can be unlocked on the "Unlock Additional BCs" page and is already available to those of you with BC subscriptions.

I would love to see your Percheron examples. Please post below!
