I got my first draft cross! I have wanted one for a long time. She is super sweet, had 30 days training a few months ago before the owner had to concentrate on family stuff so we have a lot to do!
She just turned 6 end of july nothing really fazes this girl, she hauled the 4 hours home like a champion.

(i know she is underweight, the owner had to go and get her mother to come and live with them and her 16 year old daughter was in charge of feeding all the horses. She was in with a herd and wasn't separated at dinner like she should have, so she lost weight getting chased off and has some bite marks, but I have added beet pulp to her diet and she will be getting some pounds on and some muscle!)

Now you have to guess what she is!
She is 15.2hh.

I will try and upload better pictures later, my mom didn't realize they were blurry, but I am too excited to wait!

I am still trying to get my head round understanding what you see as 'draft' horses in the USA. Draft horses in UK usually applies to the Big drafts such as Clydedales, Shires, Percherons and ofcoure, the Irish Draft.
Now what she is - I would say that there is definitely Clydesdale in her (way, way back) because she has the slight feather and a 'blaze' down the front of her face. She also looks like there is a bit of TB in her too and perhaps a bit of QH. She also may have a bit of arab. I'm not an expert and jsut trying to guess by looking at the pictures. How did I do?

She is half shire and half Arabian :)
She just turned six and we are working on adding fat and muscle as she is really under weight
We have the same draft horses in the USA as the UK.... I will try and find some pics of her parents her dam is the shire and her site was an Arabian I will also post pics of Dahlia once she is not a skeleton horse lol
