about us title
Welcome to draftcross.com home of Dundulk Sporthorses and thanks for visiting. The first thing we would like you to know about this site is that our horses are different!

You will note that some of our draft crosses contain Hackney blood. The Hackney Horse is considered a "rare breed" in the United States by the AHSA and are indeed, hard to find, so most people are not familiar with them.

The Hackney horse, while bred originally as a driving horse, exhibits a conformation that allows them to elevate their shoulders, collect and drive with their haunches. (More...)
