For 14 years, Roy Nilson has been hoping that his American Cream Draft horse would finally foal. Fourteen days ago, that finally happened. Maggie, 24 years old, had a foal.
The breed is listed as critically rare on the Livestock Conservancy website, livestockconservancy.org.
Maggie finally having a foal born has Nilson over the moon.
“They are rare as a unicorn,” he said, caught in a brief moment before running to pick up his older son Hayward from school. Hayward is the oldest son for whom the farm, Hayward and Father, is named.
