The American Belgian Draft is an American breed of draft horse. It derives from the draft horses of Belgium but, as a result of isolation and different selective breeding, became genetically distinct from them in the early part of the twentieth century.[4]: 434 It is generally taller and less heavily built, and has a very different distribution of coat colors.[4]: 434 [5]: 166
