Do they inject police horses with steroids?

Hey I was walking down the street yesterday and I saw a policeman on a horse. and this horse was absolutely humongous with muscles everywhere, it looked nothing like a horse that I had ever seen. Do they inject police horses with steroids?

I know next to nothing about horses (just that they smell bad and secretly hate humans ), but there are lots of different kinds of breeds. Maybe you saw a draft horse? They're the ones that are bred to pull heavy loads, and are simply spectacular when you stand next to them, like Hulk horses!

That's a Belgian draft horse, btw.

It could be a natural variation, like the Belgian Blue cow that has a defect in the myostatin gene (bred for the meat industry).

Hmm, what is it that Belgians seem to have for breeding monster-size farm animals, haha...
