The American Cream is the only
draft horse breed that originated in the United States. The breed
descended from a draft type mare with an outstanding cream color a
Belgian stallion. The mare, ‘Old Granny’ was the first
registered American Cream. She hailed from a farm auction in
Story County, Iowa in 1911. She was foaled between 1900 and 1905. American Creama are of medium cream color with white mane and tail, pink skin and amber eyes. Some white markings are also very desirable. Pink skin is the determining factor in securing this rich cream color. The American Cream draft horse is a medium draft type. Mares generally weigh from 1,600 to 1,800 pounds and stallions can weigh 2000 pounds. Height ranges from 15.1 to 16.3 hands. American Creams are known for their good dispositions. |
