The Charentais and Vendéen are extinct breeds of horse from western France. They were bred principally in the area around Poitou-Charentes and Vendée, France. They were used as a mount for light cavalry.[1]

Vendéen

The Vendéen breed was originally imported by the Dutch in the 17th century from Friesland. It was originally to be used for draining swamps, but was later crossed with Thoroughbred stallions to make it fit for service as a mount for light cavalry.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20140214185248/http://www.cheval-vendeen.com/historique.html

These breeds were combined with other lines to become the Selle Français.

gollark: That doesn't tell you how much they use *per second* or anything *when flying*.

gollark: Knowing the necessary power is the problem; I don't know how much drones use to operate.
