	A Dealer in Percheron Horses : Gerald George Powell 1868 - 1947 by Nancy Powell Gerald Powell was an Englishman living in France at the end of the 19th/early 20th centuries, who became an expert on the indigenous working horse - the Percheron. Respected for his good judgment he became a major dealer in these horses (and other working horse breeds) and arranged the export of many thousands to the 'New World'. This is a profile, written some years ago by his daughter Nancy.
