Although Belgium is primarily known for its heavy horse breeds, it also produces the Belgian Warmblood. The Warmblood is bred distinctively as a show horse, excelling in dressage and jumping arenas. ... The Belgian Warmblood stands around 16.2 hands high. The head is alert and full of quality, mainly due to its Anglo-Arabian influence. Withers are well placed and the shoulders are of good riding type. The body is compact with good depth and a back of perfect length. The horse is known to have correct legs and sound hooves. 1, record 2, English, - Belgian%20Warmblood

Ardennais, also known as the Belgian Ardennais or Ardennes, is a heavy-boned yet agile breed from the Ardennes region of France, Belgium, and Luxembourg. It is one of the earliest heavy breeds, with a recent strong infusion of Brabant blood for size and strength. It has a compact body, short back, and massive legs that are often covered with feathering. The Ardennais is easy to handle and, having developed in a harsh environment, is naturally hardy and economical to keep. 2, record 3, English, - Belgian%20Ardennes

L'ardennais Belge [...] Riche d'un passé militaire glorieux sous Napoléon d'abord, dans l'armée Belge ensuite, l'Ardennais fut, jusqu'en 1930 environ, un cheval de Trait léger et rapide. [...] Au cours du dernier quart du 19ème siècle,l'Ardennais Belge va subir une transformation profonde sous l'effet de nombreux croisements avec le Brabançon (cheval de Trait Belge de type lourd). [...] L'Ardennais Belge de la seconde moitié de notre siècle ressemble à s'y méprendre à un Brabançon si ce n'est qu'il est de plus petite taille, a une tête plus expressive et un tempérament plus vif. 2, record 3, French, - ardennais%20belge
