The Percheron is a breed of draft horse that originated in western France and is known for its intelligence and willingness to work. They were originally bred for use as war horses. Over time, they began to be used for pulling stagecoaches and later for agriculture and hauling heavy goods. In France, height ranges from 15.1 to 18.1 hands (61 to 73 inches, 155 to 185 cm) and weight from 1,100 to 2,600 pounds (500 to 1,200 kg). American bred Percherons tend to be larger and can reach a height of 19 hands (76 inches, 193 cm).
Percherons are generally gray or black in coloring, although the American registry also allows the registration of roan, bay and chestnut horses. Only gray or black horses may be registered in France and Britain. Many horses have white markings on their heads and legs, however, excessive white is undesirable.
In order to fit 32mm (human) minis, I suggest scaling this model 45 to 48mm in height.
