France trait stakes
What is at stake in france trait's sucess?
1) Safeguarding a genetic diversity unique to the world. This is why France TRAIT supports the move to include the nine French onn the Unesco World Heritage list.
2) Preserving cultural heritage and tradition, ingrained for several generations, which bring together professionals and amateurs. Long used for ploughing or as a comrade in war, the draught horse today has the public image of a likeable animal. Apowerful but gentle giant, the draught horse remains an interesting tool for social mediation, appreciated by a large number of people in a contemporary society in search of values.
3) Making it more economically profitable to produce draught horses. Currently, of the 13,000 registered breeders, very few manage to live on this production alone. Today, most draught horses in France are bred by enthusiastic breeders. Therein lays their strength, of course. But for how long? Before these fervent defenders of the breeds run out of steam, it is essential to find a solution to this problem of profitability, which determines the future of this breeding.
