The American Saddlebred
The American Saddlebred is a distinctive breed whose presence makes it America's premiere show horse. Featuring long, arched necks, alert and expressive eyes, and forward ears, Saddlebreds move with balance and high-stepping style. They have earned a reputation for their animation, elegance and alert presence in show arenas across the country.
Characteristics
Saddlebreds range in size from 15 to 17 hands and weigh between 1,000 to 2,000 lbs. They come in almost every color since registration is based on pedigree rather than color restriction. The head and eye of the ideal Saddlebred should project refinement, intelligence and energy. Their long, sloping pasterns provide a comfortable spring to their ride. Saddlebred owners appreicate their winning personality. Alert, curious and happy, Saddlebreds are really people-oriented.
If you want to see our Saddlebreds in action, come visit Hardwood Creek Farm or check out our calendar of upcoming shows where our Saddlereds and Morgans will compete for ribbons in a wide range of classes.
