The Comtois is a breed of medium-sized draft horse, specific to Franche-Comté. With the Comtois trait, the first utility breed in France, the horse historically prances in the landscape. Once a workmate, today he is the best friend of leisure and nature.
Historically a famous battle mount under the Ancien Régime, the Comtois is the first example of flourishing breeding of a heavy draft horse in France. It was decimated during the Napoleonic wars and experienced a period of decline in the 19th century, when it merged, under the name of Jura horse, with the future horse of the Swiss Franches-Montagnes. Its breeding was relaunched at the beginning of the 20th century on the French side, it is known as the “Maîchard” horse of the Haut-Doubs plateaus.
