Percherons are a breed of draft horse that originated in the Huisne river valley in western France, most commonly seen in a black or grey color. They are well muscled, and known for their intelligence and willingness to work, as well as being generally peaceful creatures that are lovable and easy to train. They're seen between 15 and 19 hands high, and 1,900 to 2,600 pounds. Percherons were originally bred for use as war horses, but over time, they began to be used for pulling stagecoaches and later for agriculture and hauling heavy goods. They have been crossed with several light horse breeds, such as Arabians, to produce horses for range work and competition, but are still used for forestry work and pulling carriages.

Sleepy Hollow Percherons originates from the northern midwest United States, home to many varieties of horse from many different backgrounds of work; working as police mounts in Australia to forestry and farm work in Great Britain, parades, sleigh rides and hayrides around the world, and competing in various classes such as dressage and classic cart. Sleepy Hollow Percherons can very commonly seen in equine therapy and beginner riding lessons as well due to their gentle, relaxed behavior.

Prompt: I am completely obsessed with drafts, so that was what first drew me to this species. But what I really value is how friendly and open to discussing anything it is. Because of SHPs, I re-ignited my interest in Flight Rising, and I'm so happy to be part of that community again and having fun with pixel dragons. I think the way everyone supports each other and tries to help each out with FR things exemplifies how kind and thoughtful the members of SHPs are. It helps that sleepy at the helm is a calm guiding presence that keeps things relaxed and casual. Thank you <3 <3

Prompt: I have been a member of the HARPG community for like... 10 years now? It all started on dA for me, then I weaseled my way into Bayside here on CS. Though I am relatively new to this particular breed, the HARPG community on CS has gotten me through way more than I would care to admit!! I have made lifelong friends through this community and I plan to make many, many more! The HARPG community encouraged me to reignite my love for role-playing, creating art and even helped me find love for the equestrian sport throughout the years. Growing up meant that I lost love for all of these things at one point or another. I lost those parts of myself and I didn't even realize I missed them. Until I stumbled back upon these closed breeds and communities and fell in love all over again. The Art-RPG community has found a way to keep me centered and has given me a sense of comfort and familiarity when I was going through all kinds of life-changes. HARPG got me through break-ups, moving, failing grades, getting fired, losing friends, getting into arguments, losing pets and so much more. Whenever the going gets tough, I use this as an outlet. I encourage so many to do the same.
As far as what I would like to see? Just keep creating. Keep giving people the opportunity to become introduced to this wonderful, wonderful world. The more things people can do to make a sense of community, the better! Host competitions, make show teams and compete against other CS-breeds, have raffles/seasonal events! Just get people more involved!
