Bloodgood and Santini describe this breed of horse in their Horseman's Dictionary as 'a heavy harness horse evolved in the North Yorkshire (Cleveland) district'. Such horses have 'Arab blood crossed with native, English, Spanish and Scandinavian stock'. In earlier times the breed was known as the Chapman or Yorkshire Packhorse.
