This video covers the American Cream Draft, the Choctaw Horse, and the Nokota, three breeds that nearly went the way of the extinct Narragansett Pacer, and the historical mechanism (USDA-documented farm mechanization, 1918-1956) that pushed nearly all of America's own horse breeds toward the same edge.

This small Thoroughbred farm outside of Dayton , Oregon is one of the few that have Man O War & In Reality genetic lines left. Our foundation sire was unusual in that he had a dorsal stripe down his back & in summer he would have faint stripes on his legs. Like many feral horses have! His temperament was the best! Anyone could ride him as long as you did not gallop him. He was fast! Have had colts & fillies by him that were clocked at 40.9 mph for 3/8 mile at our now long gone 1 mile track. We have been fortunate enough to retain 2 of his sons & several daughters who we cross with our present unrelated primary farm sire who is of Bold Ruler linage.
