A draft horse, draught horse or dray horse (from the Anglo-Saxon dragan meaning to draw or haul) is a large
horse bred for hard, heavy tasks such as
ploughing and
farm labour. Draught horses are versatile breeds used today for a multitude of purposes, including
draft horse showing, farming, and for pleasure, but all share the traits of strength, stamina, health, longevity, patience and a docile temperament which made them indispensable to generations of
pre-industrial farmers. They are also commonly used for cross-breeding, especially to breeds such as the
Thoroughbred.

A packhorse (UK) or pack horse (USA) refers generally to an
equid such as a
horse,
mule,
donkey or
pony used for carrying goods on their backs, usually carries in sidebags or
panniers. Typically packhorses are used to cross difficult terrain, where the absence of good roads does not permit the use of wheeled vehicles.
