My absolute highest prides and passions are my horses. The breed that my lovely show horses are is the American Saddlebred. I love to educate people on these horses because it seems that people around here are often mistaken on what we do or are not even familiarized with the breed at all. Saddlebreds are very high strung and energetic horses that mainly perform the discipline Saddleseat, which is a branch off of the English discipline. There are many divisions of Saddleseat, such as, Park, Five Gaited, Three Gaited, Show Pleasure, Country Pleasure, and Equitation. These are the main divisions. This incredible breed of horse also executes an amazing show for the Western Pleasure division. Driving is another specialty fit to the American Saddlebred. When you drive a horse, you are in a cart, or a buggy, for some divisions. I think that Saddleseat is very much under credited, but I could possibly just be biased. My friends and I have grown used to being accused of abusing our horses. We love these creatures and would never hurt them. These animals are completely and utterly happy and spoiled. All of the disciplines are constantly hating on other disciplines and these moments are very sad. I wish the equestrian community could all only be civil and get along. In the pictures that will soon be attached to this blog, you will see that this stunning breed has a natural oasis of beauty. From the long arching necks to the big animation overall, you simply cannot get a picture more perfect.
