one of the most fashionable heavy races at all; the horses have one eastern glaze and especially easy movements. The head is finely chiselled and straight, the neck correctly and powerfully, originating from a sometimes somewhat steep shoulder. The torso is compact and changes to an easily precipitous, muscular croup. The legs are powerful, very dry and without Behang, the hooves roughly and small. Size of approximately 155 to 165 cm of stick-measurement, earlier, there was another smaller hit. Colors: Mold, Fox and brown. Weight: about. 700 to 1000 kg.

One leads back the especially harmonic appearance of the race to early in-crossings of Oriental blood. Already Caesar's numidische mercenaries shall camp to Britain around Boulogne before the embarkation and cruised its African stallions with native mares. In the 17. Jh. if the race got its present-day name and developed in two hits, the smaller, very agile Mareyeur, that were put in to the Parisian markets for the swift transportation of the fresh seafood of Boulogne, and the heavy Zugtyp by the name of Dunkerque. Unfortunately the useful Mareyeur died out meanwhile, because the main-utilization for Kaltblüter in the present-day France is the battle-horse-production.
