A joint resolution designating the American cream draft horse as the official state horse of the State of Iowa.(Formerly SSB 1064.)

This bill proposes to officially designate the American cream draft horse as the state horse of Iowa. The resolution aims to honor this specific breed, which is known for its distinctive cream color and gentle temperament. By making it the official state horse, Iowa would recognize its cultural significance and connection to the state's agricultural heritage.

Supporters of the bill would highlight the American cream draft horse as a symbol of Iowa's rich farming and equestrian traditions. They may argue that designating it as the official state horse would promote awareness and appreciation for this unique breed, fostering pride among Iowans and encouraging tourism related to equestrian events.

Critics might argue that designating an official state horse is unnecessary and could divert attention from more pressing legislative issues. They may also contend that focusing on a single breed overlooks the diversity of horse breeds that contribute to Iowa's agricultural landscape and equestrian culture.
