About a hundred years ago, they impressed the Zeeland countryside: the heavy draft horses, used by farmers at the time to work the land. The horses are of a relatively young breed, which developed after breeding with horses from Belgium. From Zeeuws-Vlaanderen, where farmers first began working with these horses, the new draft horse breed spread throughout Zeeland. The glory days in agriculture lasted only a short time: in the mid-twentieth century, many farmers switched to tractors. Now a few farmers still work with the Zeeland draft horse and they are otherwise mostly loved by hobby farmers. At the ring ride and the straô, the animals are always present.
