The Saddlebred horse, also called the American Saddlebred horse, has changed names. It used to be know as just the American Saddle Horse. Either way, it is a horse that was developed in Kentucky by different plantation owners. They may have first been used to work on farms, but today it is much more common to see them used in saddle seat style riding competitions. They are sometimes used in dressage, hunting, and jumping competitions as well. For those of you that do not know, dressage competitions are the ones that are like training competitions. They are used to see how well a horse has been trained and how easy is it for the rider to preform certain actions on the horse without the horse acting out. The horse is graded on how well they did in the task that was given to them, as well as if the horse acted out against the trainer at all.
