The Comtois are quite rare and are native to the French-Swiss border region. They were used for hauling logs and have the stature of a Suffolk Punch but are much smaller. This pair are sisters and have appeared in a film. They are occasionally seen pulling a cart in nearby Beccles where they are a popular attraction.
