A joint resolution designating the American cream draft horse as the official state horse of the State of Iowa. (Formerly SJR 2007.)

This bill designates the American cream draft horse as the official state horse of Iowa. It aims to recognize and celebrate this specific breed that has historical significance in the state. The bill has been sponsored by the State Government committee and has passed the engrossed stage.

Supporters of the bill would highlight the American cream draft horse's unique qualities and its connection to Iowa's agricultural heritage. They may argue that this designation fosters state pride and promotes awareness of the breed, which is known for its beauty and gentle temperament.

Critics might argue that designating a state horse is an unnecessary use of legislative time and resources. They could also point out that there are many other breeds or symbols that could equally represent Iowa's agricultural identity, questioning why this specific breed was chosen.
