The American Saddlebred is famously known as the “horse America made.” Originating in Kentucky, the breed first emerged during the American Civil War as typical officer mounts. Some of the characteristics of the breed include a long-reaching neck and flat back with a high-set tail. Because of their confirmation, American Saddlebreds usually have smooth, recognizable gaits that benefit them in the show arena.
