Originally from 'Le Perche' in the north west of France, the Percheron is a cross breed of Arabian and Flemish stock. After the First World War, the Percheron was imported to England as a general workhorse. Impressed with its docility, activity and power and ability to work both in mud and on hard surfaces enthusiasts keep the breed alive on farms in Cambridgeshire, Norfolk, Lincolnshire, Co. Durham, and Hampshire. Now in the 21st century with energy crises and oil shortages, there is a tremendous amount of interest in the breed with many new studs being started in various parts of the country.
