The Belgian horse or Belgian draft horse, also known as Belgian Heavy Horse, ''Brabançon'',〔Summerhayes, RS; "Horses & Ponies", Warne & Co, 1948〕 or ''Brabant'', is a draft horse breed from the Brabant region of modern Belgium, where it is called the フランス語:''Cheval de trait belge'' or Flemish: or or . It is one of the strongest of the heavy breeds. The breed associations are the Société Royale Le Cheval de Trait Belge/ Koninklijke Maatschappij het Belgisch Trekpaard and the Eleveurs Wallons du Cheval de Trait Belge/ Vlaamse Fokkers van het Belgisch Trekpaard. ==Characteristics== The Belgian Heavy Draft horse stands between .〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Breed Profile )〕 On average the Belgian grows to weigh slightly over . Most American Belgians are a light chestnut with a flaxen mane and tail. The head is relatively small and well-shaped.〔 American Belgians in North America are not as large as the European Brabant but is of a similar build.〔 Currently, the world's tallest horse is a Belgian Draft horse named Big Jake, a gelding born in 2000. He stands tall.〔http://www.smokeyhollowfarm.com/big-jake-bio〕 Belgians have a high occurrence of junctional epidermolysis bullosa (JEB), an inherited genetic disorder that causes newborn foals to lose large areas of skin and have other abnormalities, normally resulting in euthanasia. A study conducted in 2001–2003 found that 17.1% of tested Belgians in the US and Canada were carriers, including 13.5% of stallions and 28.9% of mares. If carriers are not mated, JEB can be avoided, and scientists are studying the disease further in the hope of completely eliminating it. The US Belgian breed registry requires JEB testing. Belgians have also been identified to be at risk for chronic progressive lymphedema, a chronic progressive disease that includes symptoms of progressive swelling, hyperkeratosis and fibrosis of distal limbs. The disease is similar to chronic lymphedema in humans.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Chronic Progressive Lymphedema (CPL) in Draft Horses )〕
