bidet horse
Just a comment that I'm not sure if "bidet horse" is a true type, or if it just means "a small horse." See here, of note, it appears that the bathroom fixture, the bidet got its name from the animal, because you straddle it. We may want to look at that history a bit more.

 * From the article on it from the French WP (this is a link to the Google translation), it seems to be a true type, similar perhaps to the rouncey? Anyway, I've finished the bulk of the translation. Tomorrow I plan to expand the lead, do general cleanup, ask Amelie to take a look, and probably toss it up for DYK. Dana boomer (talk) 23:52, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Hello, article bidet horse in fr. explain that very well, this is a name for a small horse and historically there was 2 breeds of bidet, the Morvan horse and the bidet breton. --Tsaag Valren (talk) 12:50, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
 * lol, cheval carrossier translated with "horse bodybuilder" ! --Tsaag Valren (talk) 12:53, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
 * I thought that was quite funny too! Is there an actual English translation that is used in France? Most of the translation tools don't deal well with technical terms, which is one of the reasons I like to have you look over the articles, in case I was led astray by a weird translation.

 * It's interesting, and I think you are right that we are close to something of a type akin to the rouncy -- the all-purpose type. Maybe un-wikilink for now until we sort out how we want to write about them!   Montanabw (talk) 20:17, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
 * cheval carrossier = light draft horse, we have a distinction between heavy draft horse for agriculture, and light draft horse, "carrossier" means "who pull carriages". Carriage horse perhaps ? --Tsaag Valren (talk) 22:12, 12 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Probably now the heavy warmblood. Tricky to sort "type" from "breed" -- pedigrees and breed registries not being a big thing until the 19th century and all...    Montanabw (talk) 23:28, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
