The American Cream Draft is a rare and historic draft horse breed originating in the United States in the early 1900s. Its foundational mare, Old Granny, had a striking cream coat, pink skin, and amber eyes. These traits continued to be passed to future generations, creating a breed known for its beauty and distinctiveness.
These horses range from 15 to 16.3 hands high and weigh 1,600 to 2,000 pounds, showcasing the strength and versatility typical of draft breeds. Calm and willing, American Cream Drafts excel in farming, carriage driving, and therapeutic programs, making them beloved companions. Despite being endangered with fewer than 400 individuals registered worldwide, passionate breeders are dedicated to preserving this American treasure.
