IF the Morgan horse just came out of one random stallion, and the American Cream came out of just one random mare, then what is so important about one particular breed of horse? Didn't the Morgan and the American Cream each come out of one mongrel horse? So there might be a random stallion or mare out there, undiscovered, that would make a new breed of horse, just as good as any breed now extant.
I recently got a 5-yr-old cream draft mare (they blood-tested her but I have to register as a tracking mare). She was NOTHING to break (I'm like almost 50 years old, lol), and is starting dressage. Everyone says she looks like a white friesian (TONS of hair), but it is her temperament that is amazing and she is the star of the barn. I wouldn't take 5 times what I paid for her, and YES, I'd get another in a heartbeat!
@ Bindi, I see no evidence that the Sugarbush horses have ever been classified as a breed officially...as in a DNA test that shows it is more then just a mix of two other breeds but in fact a breed unto itself. That I believe is the difference that makes American Creams the "only draft native to America". They are great horses, mine fill my heart with such joy its impossible to express it!
Beautiful horses! I'd love to see them in person, but I doubt that we have any here in Australia. They aren't the only American draft breed though. There is also the Sugarbush Draft Horse, which is currently in the same postiton as the Creams once were, if not even worse.:-(
@Bindi342 I dont know about that, Have any DNA test been run on this "Sugarbush" horse that actually show it to be a unique breed of horse or are they simply still just a mix of two others. That would be key to weather they should be considered an "American Breed".
