Chestnut drafters
"Care must be exercised however when assigning a specific breed to one of you chestnut drafters, since conformation, type, size, germane-to-breed characteristics, (specifically concerning the amount of natural "feathering" on the legs, or lack of feathering) and stud book requirements will all enter into your choice."

"Feathering, or feather, is a term used to describe the long hair on the lower legs and fetlocks of some breeds of horse and pony. On some horses, especially draft breeds, the hair can almost cover the hooves. While nearly all horses will grow longer hair on the lower legs and back of the fetlocks at times, particularly in the winter, "Feather" refers to the particularly long, luxuriant growth that is characteristic of certain breeds."

« Fanon : touffe de crins derrière le boulet du cheval. »

Furetière :
« FANON. Terme de Manège. Toupet de poil gros comme du crin qui vient au derrière du boulet de beaucoup de chevaux. Les chevaux de légère taille n’ont presque jamais de fanon. Ce cheval de carosse a un gros fanon. Cet autre a ses jambes tellement chargées de poil que si le cocher ne les tient nettes il sera sujet aux eaux. Il y a un ergot derrière ce fanon. »
