	Equiworld - Equestrian Information - horses and ponies on the internet
		The Suffolk Horse is always chesnut in colour (note the traditional spelling without the 't'), often accompanied with a star on the forehead, or a thin reach, blaze or shim down the face.
		Suffolks are shown with leather head collars and bits and it is a Society tradition for the exhibitors to present themselves in a smart manner.
		These were started at the beginning of the 20th century when the Suffolk was often criticised for having poor feet, but the introduction of classes for best feet where the prize money is shared between farrier and groom, and the influence of good footed stallions, has made this criticism completely unjustified.

	Red Dog Studio: Suffolk Horse (Suffolk Punch)
		Suffolks are probably descended from English mares bred to French-Norman, Flanders, and Norfolk trotter stallions.
		The Suffolk is a unique heavy breed in that it comes in only one color, "chesnut" (note the missing "t"), but there are seven shades of chesnut to choose from: bright, red, golden, yellow, light, dark, and dull dark.
		Suffolks tend to have straight shoulders, but this is not considered a flaw in the breed because it can provide more strength and pulling power.

	Suffolk Horse
		While it originated in Suffolk and the neighbouring counties, its origin like all other old breeds is unknown but it is probable that the genes for large size emanated from the area of what is today Belgium.
		The way in which a Suffolks mane and tail are braided for the show ring is unique, with the tail being braided to its end and then folded up and the mane is completely braided with raffia being used in both mane and tail to make the horse look superb.
		Working practices in Suffolk were different from those elsewhere and the large numbers of horses at work on farms in the area were such that the skill of the horseman reached its zenith in Suffolk.

	Suffolk Punch
		The Suffolk Punch is the country’s oldest and heaviest breed of working horse, which can trace its origins back to 1506.
		The Suffolk is the real heavyweight workhorse and was favoured by many arable farmers in the past because it does not have the “feathers” – or hairy feet – of breeds like the shire.
		As the Suffolk continues to attract attention from a growing band of admirers, there is a very real prospect that the breed could be set for a much brighter future.

		SALISBURY, England—The Suffolk Punch—a colossal horse that has served Britain for centuries as a beast of burden and war—may be perilously close to extinction in its motherland if the country's largest stud farm for the breed closes as announced.
		Unlike the situation in Britain, the Suffolk horse population in the United States is thriving.
		Ken Laing, the director of ASHA and a Canadian breeder of Suffolks, thinks the key to the breed's survival in England depends on finding a use for the horses and recognizing the importance of the Suffolk gene pool that exists in North America.

	SUFFOLK PUNCH HORSES
		The Shiels painting of a Suffolk Punch shown here was commissioned by David Low in the 1830s, to illustrate his work.
		But the two features which at first glance most distinguished the Suffolk Punch from other British draught horses were its colour – generally described as chesnut (although it could vary from dun to sorrel), and the lack of the 'feathering' which is so characteristic of the Clydesdale and Shire, on its heels.
		While it is believed that the Suffolk Punch was imported into New Zealand in the colonial period, we have not located any 'hard' evidence of this – if it did arrive, it probably did not survive here as a breed.

		The Suffolk Punch is the oldest breed of heavy working horse in the British Isles to exist in its present form and probably dates back as far as the 13th Century.
		In height, the suffolk varies from 16hh (for the mares) to 17.1 hands for the stallions; the head is large with a broad forehead, the neck deep where the collar lies, tapering gracefully towards the head which shows considerable quality.
		The overall impression of a good Suffolk is a horse with a large body and relatively short legs, and as a result this is a horse of tremendous strength.

	Suffolk Draft Horses
		Suffolks are the only draft breed originally developed exclusively as a plow horse.
		Isolated from their neighbors, the farmers of England's Norfolk and Suffolk counties needed a draft breed to plow the heavy native clay soil, so they developed a docile agricultural horse with power, stamina, health and longevity.
		The Suffolk has therefore remained relatively unknown, and also pure and true to its original type and purpose of agricultural work.
