Dole Description |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| |
There are
two types of the Dole Horse. One is a light draft horse
called the Dole Trotter. The other is the Gudbransdal,
which is a heavy workhorse. The gudbransdal is a small,
tough horse used for heavy work such as farm work and
transport. The Dole Trotter was first used for light
transport, but today is used more for harness racing
and trotting. Because there is a large amount of interbreeding,
they two types are becoming more uniform and the differences
are dwindling. They have an active gait and high energy
which makes them noted for their high stamina. Both
types share many common characteristics. Their heads
are quite small and pony-like. The forehead is wide
and the muzzle is square. Its neck is crested and short
and they have a very straight profile. A deep body,
strong shoulders, and strong chest make up their very
powerful body. A healthy Dole Horse will have short,
strong, thick limbs. The Dole Horse is usually black,
brown, or bay, but it is not unusual to find chestnut,
gray, and dun colored horses as well. Some Dole Horses
may have white markings along the head and legs. |
