Owning an
American Saddlebed is a treasure. They are truly great companions,
great family horses, show horses, and fantastic pleasure horses.
In 1998 I found a
beautiful Pinto Saddlebred stallion in Trilby Florida,
Cappuccino Royale
and bred my Appendix QH mare ( to
Cappuccino Royale. Cappuccino is a
beautiful Pinto homozygous American Saddlebred stallion and has
been a great producer through the years.
My first foal I raised is pictured

Expresso was foaled May
18, 1999. She stands at 16-1 hands tall, homozygous and she has been a tremendous asset to our farm. Expresso
is a American Saddlebred Cross Quarter Horse.

About the American
Saddlebred Horse
The American Saddlebred, formerly known as the American Saddle
Horse, is a breed of
horse that was developed in
Kentucky by plantation owners. Today,
in the
horse show world, they are most
commonly seen under saddle in
Saddle seat style riding, and in
various types of
driving, including
pleasure driving and various types of
fine harness competition. They are also
occasionally seen in other disciplines including
dressage,
hunter/jumper, and
western riding. They also are popular
parade mounts and used for
trail riding due to their comfortable
gait and steady temperament.
The American Saddlebred with its conformation, personality, and
stamina is suited to accomplish any task requested, but is most well
known as the "peacock of the horse show world." The horses used for
Saddle seat and
fine harness competition, the
disciplines where the breed dominates, are flashy, high-stepping
animals, with exaggerated action. Saddlebreds are sometimes used in
western classes and in the
sport horse disciplines. The Saddlebred
is very sensitive and alert. The ideal American Saddlebred is
well-proportioned and presents a beautiful overall picture. Large,
wide-set expressive eyes and gracefully shaped ears set close together
are positioned on a well-shaped head. The neck is long with a fine,
clean throatlatch and is arched and well-flexed at the
poll. The American Saddlebred sports
well-defined and prominent
withers, while the shoulders are deep
and sloping. Well-sprung ribs and a strong level back also characterize
the breed. The legs are straight with broad flat bones, sharply defined
tendons and sloping
pasterns. Saddlebreds are usually
black,
bay, or
chestnut, but
grays,
cream dilutes,
champagnes,
tobianos, and
sabinos are also seen.
Dun,
frame overo,
splash overo,
rabicano,
appaloosa patterns, and
true roan are not seen in the breed.
The average height is 15 to 16 hands
(60 to 64 inches, 152 to 163 cm), but can range from 14.2 to 17 hands
(58 to 68 inches, 147 to 173 cm).
