| Venus is a gorgeous pale gold champagne color with amber eyes. She is a very hammy girl who always wants to be the center of attention. We often refer to her as the resident "Queen Bee" as she is such a diva and she knows it. Venus was used primarily as an amateur show and parade mare by her previous owner. She was also ridden by children and is a very sweet and even-tempered mare who can be handled by anyone. Venus tested negative for the JEB gene. |

| The American Cream Draft Horse Association has used Venus's image (along with our stallion, Ben) for some of their merchandise! Check out the Ben & Venus t-shirts and stamps at their official online store! Ben and Venus will also be appearing in a book illustrating the history of color in draft and carriage breeds. The book is called The Equine Tapestry and you can follow author Lesli Kathman's progress here. Here is what the author had to say about our American Creams (and Venus in particular): "...I am currently working on a book on the history of color in the draft and carriage breeds. I found your website with the pictures of both your stallion Ben and your mare Venus, and wondered if you would be willing to let me use their photos to illustrate the chapter on American Cream Drafts. I have been contacting breed registries for pictures of current horses (the book has a lot of historical photos from other sources, but I've wanted a representation of each breed as it currently is found), but when I saw the pictures on your site I was sure I couldn't find more attractive horses. I particularly wanted to get good images of the different 'colored' breeds, since so many people hold mistaken impressions that somehow anything with color is less in quality. Your mare in particular is absolutely stunning, and would be a great horse to undermine that mindset." |
