Research is ongoing. I am particularly interested in finding images of each of the first five American Cream Draft Horses on the ADCHA’s Breed Registry, as well as images of the horses’ owners.

Rare images from the 1930s, rediscovered in 2019 and 2023, are displayed below for your convenience, in a graphic by Ruth Homrighaus that is designed to share the 2024 research focus “At A Glance.”

If you have old photos or information that might help locate these important Lyon Township, Hamilton County images of early Cream Draft Horses near Lakins Grove, Jewell, and Ellsworth, Iowa, please contact me.
