These horses were the horses that carried armored knights into battle. Such horses were known to exist in the time of Caesar in this part of Europe. They helped establish nearly all the modern draft breeds. Belgian stallions were exported from Belgium to many other parts of Europe as they were crossbred to create larger animals of draft type for industrial and farm use. The exportation of horses out of Belgium for breeding purposes was incredible in scope and economically rewarding for her breeders decade after decade. In Wabash, Indiana in 1887 the American Association was officially founded. Many Belgians were imported from Belgium to breed. After World War II with the introduction of row-crop tractors and the push for mechanization nearly put an end to draft horse breeding. There was a decline in the number of annual registrations in the 1950s. Then Belgian draft horse started to recover slowly at first but as the price for the horse increased so did the breeding.
