Before World War I, thousands of Percherons were shipped from to the United States, but after the war began, embargo stopped shipping. The breed was used extensively Europe during the war, with some horses being shipped from the US back to to help the war effort. Beginning 1918, Percherons began to be bred Great Britain, and 1918 the British Percheron Horse Society was formed. After a series of name and studbook ownership changes, the current US Percheron registry was created 1934. the 1930s, Percherons accounted for 70 percent of the draft horse population the United States, but their numbers declined substantially after However, the population began to recover and as of 2009, around 2 horses were registered annually the United States alone. The breed is still used extensively for draft work, and they are used for food. They have been crossed with several light horse breeds to produce horses for range work and competition. Purebred Percherons are used for forestry work and pulling carriages, as well as work under saddle, including competition English riding disciplines such as show jumping.

Horses the French registry are branded on the neck with the intertwined letters SP, the initials of the Société Hippique Percheronne. During the 17th century, horses from Perche, the ancestors of the current Percheron, were smaller, standing between 15 and 16 hands high, and more agile. These horses were almost uniformly gray; paintings and drawings from the Middle Ages generally show French knights on mounts of this color. After the days of the armored knight, the emphasis horse breeding was shifted so as to develop horses better able to pull heavy stage coaches at a fast trot. Gray horses were preferred because their light coloring was more visible at night. This new type of horse was called the Diligence Horse, because the stage coaches they pulled were named diligences. After the stage coach was replaced by rail, the modern Percheron type arose as a slightly heavier horse for use agriculture and heavy hauling work moving goods from docks to railway terminals. Percherons were first imported into the United States 1839, although only one of the initial four horses survived the ocean trip. after, two stallions and two mares were imported; one mare died shortly after arrival and one stallion went blind and was retired within a year. Although the first importations of Percherons were less than successful, the remaining stallion, named Diligence, was credited with siring almost 400 foals. 1851, three stallions were imported: and Gray Throughout their stud careers, each had significant influence on American draft horse stock. the mid-19th century the United States, Percheron stallions were crossed with homebred mares to improve the local stock, resulting thousands of crossbred horses. After the American Civil War the 1860s greatly reduced the number of horses, there was a significant need for large draft horses, especially growing cities and the expanding West. Large numbers of Percherons were imported to the United States beginning the early 1870s, and they became popular with draft horse breeders and owners. the 1880s, approximately 7 horses were exported to the United States. This extensive importation lasted until 1893, when the US experienced a financial panic, and virtually no Percheron imports occurred between 1894 and 1898. addition, existing horses were lost as people were too poor to purchase or care for large draft horses. 1898, importations began again as abruptly as they had ceased, with average of 700 horses a year imported between 1898 and 1905. 1906 alone, over 13 horses were imported to the United States from the American traveling circuses of the late 19th century and early 20th century, the Percheron was the
