American Saddlebred Association Of Great Britain

Profile:
America’s national breed, America’s best kept secret - Developed in the era of the great plantations by using descendants of horses taken from England in early pioneering days (the ambling breeds that were the valued riding horses and formalised in USA as the Narragansett Pacer) and the blood of the Thoroughbred which was imported to the Americas a little later. As a result the Saddlebred is unique among gaited breeds as he has inherited a very strong trot from the TB and retained his natural ambling gaits from the amblers. His heritage is also uniquely English as his two ancestral breeds were from Great Britain, one of which 'the ambler' is now extinct.
