they number about three hundred, many of them are old,
a unique breed of horse, a line started when history turned on a dime;
they began when tractors replaced the horse, so, the wrong time.
a medium type workhorse, most all are cream, and they fill a need;
they arrived as a union of Belgian and Percheron's, but had a gene...
..called Champagne, so the color, and they are what they seem.
Usually used with harness, but you can take a ride,
so few in number, owners have great pride,
let's hope that they continue, and have a lesson to teach,
we all have the need, to practice what we preach.
Bottom: They are used at Colonial Williamsburg, in Virginia.
