The Suffolk Punch generally stands 15.3 to 16.1 hands high, and weighs 1, 980 to 2, 200 lbs (about 1 tonne).[1] They are always chestnut, and no other color is considered for admission to the Stud Book. The traditional spelling, still used by the Suffolk Horse Society, is "chesnut" (with no "t" in the middle of the word), and the Society recognizes seven distinct variations: dark approaching brown-black, liver colour or mahogany chesnut, dull dark chesnut, light mealy chesnut, red, golden, lemon, bright chesnut.[2] White markings are extremely rare, and are generally limited to small markings on the face and lower legs.[3] Marguerite Henry described the breed by saying: "His color is bright chestnut --- like a tongue of fire against black field furrows, against green corn blades, against yellow wheat, against blue horizons. Never is he any other color."[4] The Suffolk Punch has a powerful, arching neck; well-muscled, sloping shoulders; a short, wide back; and a muscular, broad croup. Their legs are short and strong, with broad joints; sound, well-formed hooves; and little or no feathering.
