Australian Draught Horse
This horse breed is a giant conglomeration of other horse species on this list. The Clydesdales, Percherons, Shires, and Suffolk Punches. It is famous throughout Australia, where it is the dominant draft breed. Many are wild, so their exact number is not known. The horse is relatively large, though it is smaller than many of its ancestors. It can stand between 16.2 and 17.2 hands high and weighs between 1,300 and 1,900 pounds. Despite their relatively smaller size, they are just as strong as some of the other horses on this list. They are also very gentle and docile, which makes them easy to work with.

Soviet Heavy Draft
As the name suggests, this horse was developed during the Soviet era in Russia. It was initially bred from the Belgian Brabant and was trained for heavy labor and agricultural work. It was recognized as a breed in 1952. This is one of several breeds that were all developed simultaneously. Others include the Russian Heavy Draft, which is often confused with the Soviet one.

While Morgan enthusiasts have stated that the horse Comanche, the only survivor of the Custer regiment after the Battle of the Little Big Horn, was either a Morgan or a Mustang, records of the U.S. Army and other early sources do not support this. Most accounts state that Comanche was either of "Mustang lineage" or a mix of "American" and "Spanish" blood.
