AMERICAN SADDLE HORSE

breed of light horse with great beauty, easy gait, and stamina. Also known as the Kentucky saddler, it was developed from the Thoroughbred and Morgan. It is noted for its tremendous showy action in all gaits, its well-formed, swanlike neck with aristocratic arch, and its uplifted tail. It is most popular as a show horse and possesses an exceptional aptitude for training. It has nevertheless been subjected to a variety of cruelties in order to train it to particular gaits. The breed is characterized by a satin coat of brown, black, or chestnut, often with white face and leg markings. It stands 15 to 16 hands (60–64 in./150–160 cm) high and weighs approximately 1,000 lb (450 kg).
