about us title
Welcome to draftcross.com home of Dundulk Sporthorses and thanks for visiting. We strive to put together an extraordinary collection of cross bred horses.

It has been a blast getting to know Sock this Summer, we are really building as a team. With lots of hard work and positive reinforcement, his training is coming along great! When I saw his picture 6 months ago and said "that's my next horse" it was really meant to be. Sockie was just fabulous in dressage. He is learning so quickly. I never would have thought a sub 30 score was possible and when I saw that 28 I almost fell over.

I have recommended you to many people and without question would buy from you again.

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 is a foundation bloodline for many European warmbloods such as the Trakehner, Holsteiner and Dutch Warmblood. 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...)
