Draught Cross horses bring together the strength, substance and steady temperament of draught horses with the qualities of another breed, creating horses that can be suited to a wide range of uses.

These crosses can combine the impressive presence and dependable nature of the draught horse with qualities such as athleticism, movement, endurance or versatility. The result is a horse that can be both practical and eye-catching, with the potential to excel in disciplines ranging from riding and driving to showing and recreational work.

Draught Cross horses represent the versatility and adaptability of the modern draught horse. The Draught Horse Society of South Africa recognises their growing place within the draught horse community and supports their responsible breeding, development and promotion.
