American Cream Draft
The American Cream Draft is a rare and distinctive draft horse breed that originated in the United States, known for its striking cream-colored coat and gentle disposition. This breed is the only draft horse breed developed in the U.S., with roots tracing back to the early 20th century in Iowa. American Cream Draft horses are known for their characteristic medium to large build, featuring a broad chest, muscular body, and strong legs, perfectly suited to light and heavy draft work. Their beautiful coat ranges from a rich cream to a light gold, complemented by striking amber eyes and white manes and tails that exhibit a natural wave.
The breed’s unique champagne gene is responsible for its eye-catching appearance. They typically stand between 15 and 17 hands high, with a weight ranging from 1,600 to 2,000 pounds. Apart from their physical characteristics, American Cream Drafts are cherished for their calm temperament and willingness to work, making them excellent companions for both farm work and recreational driving. Today, while rare, they are cherished for their historical significance and contribution to the American agricultural scene, with enthusiasts working tirelessly to preserve and promote this one-of-a-kind breed.
