TheDARTMOOR, Exmoor, andNEW Forest are likewise small breeds, but lack the symmetry and beauty of the Shetland. Cart-horses Under this head are included all the large, heavily built draught-horses. These are of European origin, and without intermixture of foreign — Asiatic or African — blood. In England the most important breeds are the BLACK or Shire Horse, the Clydesdale, and the Suf- folk Punch. These are wonderful in- stances of the resultsof selective breeding.
