Riding the Breton Draft Horse in France 🇫🇷

Time to Discover a French Draft Horse! Join me in western France as we meet the Breton Horse — a compact, powerful draft breed with a long history in the region. From pulling plows to parading in festivals, these horses are known for their strength, versatility, and connection to the land.

This is breed number 137 in my Quest! In this episode, I get the chance to ride the Breton in its homeland and learn more about its unique role in French rural life and heritage.
