Here is some interesting information on the Shire horse:

The Shire horse is a breed of draught horse. It is the tallest of the modern draught breeds, and a stallion may stand 18 or more hands (about 180 cm) high and weigh a ton. The Shire horse has a dense rounded body, a broad back, strong loins, powerful hind-quarters, and long legs with dense bones. It can be black, brown, bay, or gray and has distinctive long silky hair (often white) on the lower parts of its legs. The hair down the back of the legs is called the "feather", while the hair over the foot is known as the "spats". The Shire horse descends from the medieval Great Horse brought to England in 1066 by William the Conqueror.
