THE BEAUTIFUL, VERSATILE AMERICAN SADDLEBRED


ARGUABLY THE MOST BEAUTIFUL HORSE BREED IN HISTORY (AND IN THE OPINION OF MANY, THE MOST BEAUTIFUL ANIMAL EVER CREATED BY GOD), THE SADDLEBRED’S VERSATILITY AND USEFULNESS IS OFTEN OVERLOOKED.

Because the top of  the breed is more well known in the show ring, the Saddlebred (unjustly) carries a lable of a breed which can only be trained and ridden by the most professional horsemen.
Truth is, almost all (a rough estimate would rate it at 90%) of these exciting horses are as docile (and more intelligent) as most other breeds. Few breeds are as responsive to training, and trainers who are familiar with Saddlebreds seldomly get along with other breeds. The reason these horses create the image of “wild excitement”, is because they are capable of creating the most exciting image of all animals, when called upon to do so. Yet they are among the most adaptable of all equine breeds.
There is hardly a purpose which the Saddlebred cannot serve, depending upon the way it has been trained. And despite being one of the most beautiful horse breeds ever in existence, the intelligence and docile disposition of this breed makes it almost unique.
These photos will give the reader a cross section of the many purposes which the Saddlebred can adapt to.

BECAUSE OF ITS EXTREME BEAUTY, NATURAL MOTION AND SUPERB DISPOSITION THE SADDLEBRED IS AN EXCELLENT DRESSAGE HORSE. AS A DRESSAGE HORSE IT CREATES A PICTURE FEW OTHERS CAN COMPARE WITH.


ARGUABLY THE ULTIMATE PICTURE OF BEAUTY IN HARNESS. FEW BREEDS, IF ANY, CAN MATCH THE PICTURE THE SADDLEBRED MAKES IN HARNESS, YET THEY ARE WELL BEHAVED AND DISCIPLINED BECAUSE OF THEIR NATURAL DISPOSITION


IT IS NOT HARD TO FIGURE OUT WHY MANY HORSEMEN ARE IN LOVE WITH THIS BEAUTIFUL HORSE


THREE GAITED. CAN ITS BEAUTY BE MATCHED? 



BECAUSE OF ITS INTELLIGENCE AND DOCILE DISPOSITION, THE SADDLEBRED IS AN EXCEPTIONAL TRAIL HORSE


A COMBINATION OF BEAUTY, DISPOSITION AND ADAPTABILITY – IN ITS ROLE AS TRICK HORSE


EVEN GOING WESTERN – AND STILL EXCELLING IN ITS ROLE


THE MOST WELL KNOWN ROLE OF THE SADDLEBRED – THE EPITOME OF THE EQUINE WORLD: THE FIVE GAITED SADDLEEBRED. ARGUABLY THE MOST EXCITING, ELECTRIFYING EQUINE IN HISTORY. TO THOSE WHO ARE FAMILIAR WITH THIS BREED, ITS THRILLING PERFORMANCE IS UNEQUALLED.


BEAUTIFUL, EXCITING, BUT SUITABLE FOR A LADY. AN UNEQUALLED COMBINATION OF DOCILITY AND BEAUTY. IMAGINE THE THRILL THIS LADY GETS FROM DRIVING SUCH A UNIQUE ANIMAL


SADDLEBREDS ALSO MAKE EXCELLENT JUMPERS

CAN ANOTHER BREED MATCH THE SADDLEBRED FOR BEAUTY, VERSATILITY, ELECTRIFYING PERFORMANCE, DISPOSITION.
CAN ITS OWNERS BE BLAMED FOR CALLING IT THE ULTIMATE EQUINE?
