The ideal American Cream is a medium creamcolor with white mane and tail, pink skin and amber eyes.
Creams are short coupled with well-muscled hindquarters; wide chest; good sloping shoulder; short, strong back; deep through the heart girth; ribs well sprung; good strong legs in proportion to the body, set wide apart with strong, sure feet and setting squarely on the ground.
The American Cream Draft Horse Foundation was established in January 1994 and is dedicated to the preservation, promotion and promulgation of the American Cream Draft Horse.
A veterinarian, Eric Christian, was very much attracted by the beauty of her foals and persuaded Nelson Bros. of Jewell, Iowa, to keep a colt, Nelson's Buck, for a stallion, and create a new breed of horses having rich creamcolor, white mane and tail, pink skin and amber colored eyes.
She and her descendants were mated with both Percherons and Belgians and, in later years, inbreeding and line breeding has been practiced with many good results in both type and color.
In November 1948 the National Stallion Enrollment Board recommended the American Cream Horse Association of America for recognition on February 15, 1950, they were recognized as standard by the Iowa Department of Agriculture, giving them all the privileges granted to older established breeds in the state.
