Measuring 4.9 to 5.4 ft (1.50 to 1.65 m) for a weight varying between 1,433 and 1,763 lbs (650 and 800 kg), the Comtois horse is the draft horse par excellence to which the oriental stallions have brought the distinction which characterizes the breed. Very versatile, docile and adaptable, it is still used for traction (coupling, logging, agricultural and vineyard work) but also for leisure riding and even horse therapy.
