The torso is sound-y, the breast wide and deep. The enormously strong split-croup is emphasized by cropping the tail. The legs are shortly, strong and correct, that big yard and flat, few Behang. Size approximately 162 to 172 cm, weight about. 900 kg.

The race goes back to the heavy European Diluvialpferd. The typical horses from Flanders, Brabant and the Ardennen were sought-after in the Middle ages for dispute-steed. The agriculture always challenged a heavy horse here so that Veredlungsversuche remained largely unsuccessful. Since the middle of the 19. One developed the race century through pure-breeding and strict selection. The Belgian was bred in three hits at that time, that went back to famous stallions. This was orange I (line bulk de la Dendre), Bayard (line Gris you Hainault) and Jean I (line Colosses de la Maheique). Particularly the stallion Albion d'Or, a grandson-son of orange I, was involved at the further improvement, at times, three quarters of the horses went back to it. Brabanter were crucially involved at the creation or improvement of many other cold-blood-races and were exported into all the world.
