These didn't strike me as drafters - at least the ones I saw here and in central New Jersey were on the smallish and small-boned side. But with big feet :-D
I think it was a result of people breeding for the markings and color and putting conformation a distant second. We've seen this also in halter classes . . . and dog shows.

Well, breeding for color throws a lot out the window sometimes. I see it here in paints a lot.
