everytime someone talks sh!t to me on youtube saying its unnatural bout saddlebreds and saddle seat i just show them this video or a video of a baby saddle bred out in the pasture alone always proves them wrong :)
I have an Arabian/Saddlebred and i love him. i think they are beautiful horses. just would like to see them trained in a more healthy way, with relaxing the back muscles. you can sit the trot of every horse, when the back is working and not sore. and i don't like the tailmuscles to be cut, so that they can lay their tail on their back. other than the way they were trained and treated beautiful and impressive horses! would love to see them more often in germany.
I owned an American Saddlebred for 9 years that could keep up with any horse out in the jumper ring. When I lost my farm he went to a woman who trained with 4 time Olympic Gold Medalist Joe Fargis. And Joe loved him!!! Just goes to show that they are more than just fancy footwork :)))
I have a national show horse (arabian X saddlebred) and he loves to trot so much that when he just hears the word "trot" he will start trotting. Even when I am just using it in conversation and not as a command. He has also now learned collection to a point that he steps quite high and he is barefoot. I wouldn't say this kind of horse is for everyone but if you do like the breed they are very rewarding to own.
this video made me cry too! I bought my Saddlebred off the slaughter truck after the Amish were done with him. He still loves people and is an awesome trailhorse, with big gaits and a level head. I love how Saddlebreds are spirited yet eager to please their owners.
@MsRidethewind Two of the lesson horses at our riding barn were off the slaughter truck from the amish. One of them has gone on to be a wonderful show horse in Academy and wins almost every class. When we first got him he could hardly walk and now he is steppin high and happy. It's amazing how much they love grow strong with love.
We have one retired saddlebred event horse that would give his ALL to get you out of trouble if you got into a fence at a bad spot or distance. We have another saddlebred cross in training right now that is looking to be yet another promising event horse, with his movement with his swinging shoulder and ground covering strides, and his bravery. Love love love this breed!
I aswell used to find this sport cruel till' i moved to a saddlebred(seat) farm and found not cruelty at all. The horses are happy, healthy horses. Some people make it cruel, but not very many. The horses love the show ring, thats why they dance around and are crazy looking, not from pain but excitement.
@MegaHorses4eva ahh i know its such a rush isnt it?? its nothing compared to practice its like you get in the ring and they KNOW what their suppose to do. The shouts and cheering its like its all for them and they get a rush to! i know my horse is so much more rearin to go in the ring! haha sorry for the abbreviations lol
@marybliss99 They are a BLAST anywere in for what you train them for they Been in war .Best trail Shure footed,But they need a good trainerAn to be road every day.
its not cruel? the horses are just doing what they like and the owners just help along with it! But i think a little less of a harsh bit could help in the show ring, but other then that, their completely naturally doing what they like!
@Annathesurfer A curb bit on a dressage horse is far harsher, simply because if you watch the advanced riders, they have those curbs really put on nearly 90 degrees and held on firmly all the time. A curb bit on a saddlebred horse is much more lightly used, maybe 40 degrees max, and even then the horse is ridden 'behind and off' the bit so the rider is not pulling on it but just bumping it instead. Doesn't matter what discipline you ride, it's the hands that determine whether its harsh or not.
I really DON'T get why people say it is cruel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have a Saddlebred, and she doesn't really pick up her feet, BUT, when I go into the show ring, you can see her feet, even if you are ON THE HORSE!!!!!!! :)
I'm in LOVE with the baby at 1:15!! There r some amazing horses on this clip. keensullivan also has some very nice young and finished horses on youtube
@Z3TZU oh yea of course i have a friend who rescued a saddlebred and he does this, jumping, and barrel racing........ walking horses just like these are versitile as well. i went to a state competition and there was a walking horse who raced, jumped, and competed in her flat classes. as well as being a trail horse
the style is called saddleseat and in this particular style of riding the saddle is placed farther back on the horse than an english or dressage saddle.
Because the horses raise their necks and heads up high so you have to placew the saddle in the right spot so the horse is comfortable. It also depends on the fall of their withers
Yes, of course! Although I think there may only be a handful (if any at all) of breeders in this country. You may have to buy in America and ship over. :-(
I've ridden Tbs and WBs for many, years and last oct I finally went 4 it and got my 1st saddlebred. She's from Saddlebred Rescue in NJ (I'm in Alberta, CAN) so the cost to transport her was 3x her adoption fee, but she's worth every penny. (There aren't a whole bunch of Sbred barns here so it was either pay to have her transported or pay double that amount to a local show barn.)
I'm so happy with her! My skinny rescue mare has bloomed with dressage and now is the star of the local arena!
i have sen one, it was a 5 gated one and it crashed through the first fence, and (this is at lvl 5) and eery jump after that it would stop and LAUNCH up and over....it was pretty bad looking.
i want a saddlebred so bad!!!!! i have a half arab that does saddleseat. im kinda tired of the arabs. i lke them but they r just spooky. I live in florida and saddleseat is not popular here at all. its more of the westernn and huntseat and jumping stuff. i ride western also but i like saddleseat better.
They are trained with light chains to build muscle so it becomes easier ti lift teir legs up high when the chains are off.One should be very careful to not confuse the trainig aids of TENNESSEE WALKING HORSES with those of SADDLEBREDS.Saddlebreds show up to ages of 22 and if the training was as bad as they say,this should not have been possible!
Many children compete in the ring on saddlebreds with classes for equitation going as young as 8 or 9 years of age. The horses look hot but they are safe to ride.
Hi guys! I was blessed to have a five-gaited mare as a pet for over 15 years. Attention was her big thing--she loved the horse show environment, trail rides, camping trips. In the show ring she had that "big" expression but immediately afterwards she delighted in giving "pony rides" to kids. She made funny faces at us and "talked" behind our backs! She lived to a ripe old age until 1994. I miss her dearly. She was such a good girl.
Maybe some people do that but many saddlebreds are just natural like that. Ginger, weighted shoes, and chains are more commonly used for TWH. The chains and shoes used for saddlebreds do NOT hurt them. The chains don't weigh barely anything. Jumpers put boots on their horses? Ever heard of easy boots for trail riding? Those are pretty heavy. Saddlebred shoes are not any heavier depending.
I loved this video. It really showed off the American Saddlebred!
Horse shoes are maybe 10% heavier than a standard horse shoe and the 'heavy' chains are 6oz. If you're not sure, go ask a Saddlebred trainer to show you them.
oh and as far as the shoes, i believe saddlbreds wear normal shoes, hackneys have weighted stacked shoes. Some saddlbreds might wear weighted shoes but Im not for sure on that one.
these horses love doing what they do. and the saddlbred along with others, naturally hold their heads high. its not natural to hold their heads low like other breeds which i show. you have to be a true horse lover and show goer to full understand it.
they didnt ad in as much dressage because the breed excells in saddleseat more than jumping or dressage...oh and the shoes just make them look more flashy
they arent forced to do any of that. it is in there breed that they do that. the ASB breed is to pick there feet up that high if they are traing gaited!
Every breed enthusiast will tell you the same thing, their breed is intellegent, responsive, loves people, wants to do its job, and every breed is "the most versitile" the only difference is the style with which they do it.
Bottom line, like Arabs, thoroughbreds, etc..and other stereotyped *hot* horses, a saddlebred can be flighty. But HOT doesn't mean spooky, nuts, or flighty! "Spooky" is an individual horse's characteristic, not a breed TRAIT. My old standardbred mare was a hyper-looking, prancy, snorty horse under saddle. But she was the most excellent, steady, sane, and light horse I'd ever ridden!
What a wonderful video! I have a 19 year old Saddlebred and I absolutely adore him! They are great atheletes and great companions. I wish more people in the horse industry knew about them and their capabilities.
They definitely got it right - Saddlebreds LOVE attention. Mine immediately perks up and will show off if you bring out a camera. He's 19 and he'll still flip his tail over his rump like a foal at play. :D
I was about 8 yrs old, the first time I ever saw a horseshow. It was American Saddlebreds in Didsbury Alberta back in the '60's. I was in awe then, and I am in awe again. Spectacular!
i love how they show the babies trotting in the fields so beautiful because many people who do not know our breed think it is all unatural. you can't MAKE any horse raise up and be a show horse who doesn't want to be.
loved it. ASB's are the best. and yes they can b a horse for the disabled i seen it happen. and No the horse wasnt trained for it. It just was an ordinary ASB who got the chance 2 help someone. I use 2 own a ASB and their great.
More or so the horse KENTUCKY (thank you very much my home state) made. Those horses are cocky, the video was on the mark on that part. Can You Even! (Carson) has proven that, just by me talking to his owner at school daily. I miss their gait so much, but I wouldn't suggest riding one for a disabled rider as they are very spooky unless they've been instensly trained to be bombproof.
Whom ever believes that saddlbreds are spooky, must never have owned one... They are no more or less "bomb-proof" than a Quarter Horse, Morgan, Draft, or anyother warm or cold blooded animal.
I have over 30+ years of experience with horses. The last 10 years I have been using Saddlebreds for demonstations and lessons with disabled and physically challenged children and adults.
There is nothing in the World like an American Saddlebred.
baylee, they get a bad rap for that, but they really are not that spooky. sure, the ones who love to show are more that way, but my sister rode one in the special olympics for years and won lots of medals. i am a riding instuctor and some of them who are not show quality nake great lesson horses and trail horses.
this is a great video on them, wish we did a better job of getting the word out how great and versitile this breed really is.
That's quite untrue. They may get bigger if they notice something odd. But they are mostly BOLD, seldom spooky, and will trot through fire. Both my ASB Show horses played a BIG part in my recovery from a BIG spinal surgery
and were safe and sane enough for me to get back in the saddle after just a couple months of recuperation. They tend to be SMART as heck and will babysit an insecure rider. Now that I'm fully healed, my gelding gives me all kinds of crap. He never put a foot wrong while I was just getting back in the saddle. I also used my retired mare for beginner beginner riding lessons. So... spooky and unsuitable they most definitely are not. That's a very unsuitable generalization to make.
I love the American Saddlebred, they are the most beautiful horse!

Every breed enthusiast will tell you the same thing, their breed is intellegent, responsive, loves people, wants to do its job, and every breed is "the most versitile" the only difference is the style with which they do it.

Bottom line, like Arabs, thoroughbreds, etc..and other stereotyped *hot* horses, a saddlebred can be flighty. But HOT doesn't mean spooky, nuts, or flighty! "Spooky" is an individual horse's characteristic, not a breed TRAIT. My old standardbred mare was a hyper-looking, prancy, snorty horse under saddle. But she was the most excellent, steady, sane, and light horse I'd ever ridden!

they are very pretty and they do like the spotlight. When I shop for a horse my next one might be a saddlebred.

What a wonderful video! I have a 19 year old Saddlebred and I absolutely adore him! They are great atheletes and great companions. I wish more people in the horse industry knew about them and their capabilities.

They definitely got it right - Saddlebreds LOVE attention. Mine immediately perks up and will show off if you bring out a camera. He's 19 and he'll still flip his tail over his rump like a foal at play. :D

I was about 8 yrs old, the first time I ever saw a horseshow. It was American Saddlebreds in Didsbury Alberta back in the '60's. I was in awe then, and I am in awe again. Spectacular!

i love how they show the babies trotting in the fields so beautiful because many people who do not know our breed think it is all unatural. you can't MAKE any horse raise up and be a show horse who doesn't want to be.

loved it. ASB's are the best. and yes they can b a horse for the disabled i seen it happen. and No the horse wasnt trained for it. It just was an ordinary ASB who got the chance 2 help someone. I use 2 own a ASB and their great.

More or so the horse KENTUCKY (thank you very much my home state) made. Those horses are cocky, the video was on the mark on that part. Can You Even! (Carson) has proven that, just by me talking to his owner at school daily. I miss their gait so much, but I wouldn't suggest riding one for a disabled rider as they are very spooky unless they've been instensly trained to be bombproof.

Whom ever believes that saddlbreds are spooky, must never have owned one... They are no more or less "bomb-proof" than a Quarter Horse, Morgan, Draft, or anyother warm or cold blooded animal.
I have over 30+ years of experience with horses. The last 10 years I have been using Saddlebreds for demonstations and lessons with disabled and physically challenged children and adults.
There is nothing in the World like an American Saddlebred.

baylee, they get a bad rap for that, but they really are not that spooky. sure, the ones who love to show are more that way, but my sister rode one in the special olympics for years and won lots of medals. i am a riding instuctor and some of them who are not show quality nake great lesson horses and trail horses.
this is a great video on them, wish we did a better job of getting the word out how great and versitile this breed really is.

That's quite untrue. They may get bigger if they notice something odd. But they are mostly BOLD, seldom spooky, and will trot through fire. Both my ASB Show horses played a BIG part in my recovery from a BIG spinal surgery
blairasb 4 years ago
and were safe and sane enough for me to get back in the saddle after just a couple months of recuperation. They tend to be SMART as heck and will babysit an insecure rider. Now that I'm fully healed, my gelding gives me all kinds of crap. He never put a foot wrong while I was just getting back in the saddle. I also used my retired mare for beginner beginner riding lessons. So... spooky and unsuitable they most definitely are not. That's a very unsuitable generalization to make.
