🌟 2025 ACDHA Annual Meeting:
A Resounding Success!
The 2025 American Cream Draft Horse Association (ACDHA) Annual Meeting was a truly outstanding success! Held at the iconic Kentucky Horse Park, the meeting was both fun and highly productive. We were thrilled to see the three American Creams living at the park in action, reminding everyone of the breed’s magnificent presence.
The highlight of the business portion of the meeting was the successful passing of the new by-laws, marking a significant and positive step forward for the association.
We encourage you to dive into the details! We will be posting three links to our new YouTube channel containing the full recording of the entire meeting. If you have plenty of spare time, grab some popcorn, sit down, and relax—it will take a while, but it's a great way to catch up on everything that took place.
🗓️ Join Us for the Next Meeting!
Your participation is highly encouraged! The next meeting will be held on, September 18th- 19th, 2026 (the meeting will be held on Saturday, September 19th)
during the Draft Horse Classic in Grass Valley, CA.
