The Comtois horse is a draft horse that originated in the Jura Mountains on the border between France and Switzerland.
The Comtois is a light draft horse, with a large head, straight neck, stocky and powerful body and deep girth. They have long, straight backs and short, strong legs with a little feathering and muscular hindquarters. The Comtois sometimes shows a tendency towards sickle hocks. These horses are generally bay silver, but they can also be black silver, bay, black, and chestnut. They usually stand 1.50–1.65 metres (14.3–16.1 hands) high and weigh 650–800 kg (1,430–1,760 lb).
The Comtois horse breed is an old breed of horse that is believed to have descended from horses brought by the Burgundians of northern Germany to France during the fourth century. It is believed that they have been bred in Franche-Comté and in the Jura Mountains since the sixth century. In the Middle Ages they were used as war horses. They were bred in Franche-Comté and in the Jura Mountains During the 16th century, the Comtois breed was used to improve the Burgandy Horse. In the 19th century, other draft horses such as the Norman, Boulonnais, and Percheron were bred into the Comtois, and more recently the Ardennes was used to produce a stronger horse with better legs. Today, they are second only to the Belgian draft horse in number in France.
The Scots-English language name Bruce arrived in Scotland with the Normans, from the place name Brix of the Manche département in Normandy, France, meaning "the willowlands". Initially promulgated via the descendants of King Robert I of Scotland (Robert the Bruce) (1274-1329), it has been a Scottish surname since medieval times; it is now a common given name.
The variant Lebrix and Le Brix are French variations of the surname.

Her new owners brought her to England and decided to have her broken to harness. Here we show her working happily in harness alongside lorries, and also being driven in company with a Thoroughbred we had in for breaking. She is shown at the end being driven by her owners. Many horses are slaughtered for meat in countries such as France, just as horses are also sent to the slaughterhouse here in the UK when their careers are over. This mare had bred foals in France but none survived, so she was no longer any good for breeding. Unlike many other horses who then get sold for meat, she was broug...
Alexis getting some excellent exposure on a nationally syndicated news program. She so deserves this. She and I convinced her father to sponsor her and encourage her to follow her own path. I am proud to be her friend and am grateful for the time I got to spend with her at the track. Hopefully I'll get back out there with her as her program develops. God speed and be safe Lexi !!!!

His owner wanted to do commercial work with him and purchased him as being suitable for commercial work, however as this film shows, in our opinion he was not suitable as he was not safe on the roads. It was expected that this Friesian would be imported from Holland, and be put alongside the owner's other horse so that they could begin doing commercial work as a pair, however he was not up to standard and needed further training before this occurred. There are many pitfalls in buying horses, especially purchasing horses untried from abroad. In these ...
