This was a tough one! This horse is an American Cream Draft and is the only draft breed to have been developed in the United States that is still in existence. The breed was developed in Iowa at the beginning of the 20th Century and the official breed registry was founded in 1944. The arrival of mechanized farming threatened the breed's existence and in the late 1950's there were only 200 registered horses in the US. In 1982, the remaining American Cream owners reactivated the registry and today there are close to 2000 registered horses globally.
