The light vanner belongs to a class intermediate between the light harness horse and the heavy draught horse.
Vanner: A general-purpose medium-weight horse which hauled delivery vans around streets from Monday to Saturday. Though large numbers of vanners were well built and compact animals who were capable of plenty of hard work, many possessed huge heads, short necks and heavy fronts which gave a misleading impression of strength. They lacked power in their quarters and hind legs and were frequently made to pull loads which were too heavy for their physical capabilities.
