Description

Long associated with fine Thoroughbred horses, Kentucky’s Bluegrass region may be home to The us’s oldest indigenous breed: the American Saddlebred horse. A composite of a few breeds, the Saddlebred was once developed by 18thcentury colonists who sought a goodlooking, sensible, adaptable, and comfortable animal to ride and drive. These traits made it the mainstay of the Confederate cavalry all through the Civil War and the selection mount of many generals on both sides. As the Industrial Revolution replaced the desire for working horse power, the Saddlebred evolved naturally into recreational activities. Affectionately referred to as “peacock of the show ring,” the Saddlebred’s attractiveness, expression, and athleticism epitomize the essence of a show horse. In some ways, the breed’s history parallels that of The us and unfolds in pictures in Kentucky’s Saddlebred Heritage.
