My newest rescue. I got a call about a woman losing her house and only had days to find a home for her. I went out expecting to find a draft cross nag, and imagine my surprise when I see this gorgeous cream beauty. Turns out, she is a rare and endangered breed, an American Cream Draft Horse. I will take special care to not only keep her needs and well being at the fore front as I find her a new home, but also the survival of the breed. She appears to be the rare 'champagne' color, making her just that much more special to her breed, as they are all suppose to be champagne, however, due to low population numbers, they are allowing mares with the 'cream' gene and black skin to be registered along with the 'champagne' gene and pink skin mares, until the breed is stablized. Stallions must be pink skinned.
Here is some pics and video of joining the herd.

Oooh, she's lovely! There are tons of responsible draft owners who would love to have her (like us!). Good luck!
ReplyDeleteShe's lovely Michelle. I hope you find a good home for her..I know you will, if you can part with her!
ReplyDeleteWell tina, at the moment, my husband has decided he wants to, for the first time be a horse owner. he is quite proud of her, and shows her off to anyone that will stand still. we'll see if it lasts, if not, we will find her a good home as we do for all the rescues.
