Breed Description:
The Saddlebred is a five-gaited breed. Most Saddlebreds are born with the ability to learn the slow-gait (stepping pace) and the rack—a few can do these gaits naturally.

Colors:
No color restrictions. Bay, chestnut, brown and black are the most common Saddlebred colors, with grey, roan, palomino and pinto colors seen occasionally.

Conformation:
Saddlebreds are well known for their long, arched necks. The head of the American Saddlebred should be refined with small ears, and the withers should be positioned above the hips.

Temperament:
Saddlebreds are extremely intelligent and very people-oriented.
