Le cheval Breton actuel est le résultat d'une longue évolution et d'un long travail de sélection entrepris par les éleveurs à partir des variétés anciennes de chevaux indigènes. [...] Il existe deux types morphologiques : Le Trait de formule compacte, le Postier plus léger et plus étendu dans ses rayons et ses allures. [...] À la différence d'autres races de trait, le Breton n'a jamais cessé d'être attelé. Il est encore employé en agriculture pour des travaux de précision en culture légumière. 2, record 1, French, - gros%20breton
