About the American Saddlebred 

They are such a beautiful breed! 💕

I’m looking at a saddle bread as a first time horse is there any tips? Do you think it would be a good first horse?

@@user-gl3dv1ss1d it really depends I wouldn’t know much about owning them since I only have done lessons with them for almost 6 years they are sweet and have lots of personality they are super versatile and smooth I definitely recommend them you just would need to find the right one they can be quite strong and not the best for a newer riding depending on the horse

@@user-gl3dv1ss1dbasically I think they are great horses you just need to find the right one for you

if you watch saddlebreds in the pasture, they trot this way all by themselves; its NOT horse abuse at all; if you are trying to locate horse abuse, go directly to the tennessee walking horse, the big sick lick class, you will find plenty of abuse fodder there...

@@Lauren-vd4qe Exactly. Big lick, types of dresssge where the head is held way too far back and hurts their neck, etc.

@@johannaappleforest7482 the peanut rollers are the worst...

@@smokeykit57 ive been to plenty of shows and could count on one hand the amt of slightly swaybacked ones at all. as for the shoeing, they are like the smallest lightest shoe in any ring; i think u are confusing the TWH shoe, called the clodhopper...

why? they move like that in the pasture with nothing on them at all!

That’s a different breed, the Morgan horse. Morgan’s and Saddlebreds are very similar breeds( one is just a little more refined than the other), so I can see the mix up. Saddlebreds don’t have a cool origin story like that.

morgans are much smaller

Dana Ventura do you ride? Because none of that is true, I always let my saddlebred out in the pasture

@@chrishale1345 yea

@@chrishale1345 Haters gotta hate. If Smith Lilly or Melissa Moore were around this bunch, they'd just sigh, shake their heads and walk away. Believe I will too.

My saddlebred meets me at the gate 🤷‍♀️

American Saddlebreds are bred to move and have a tail set like that, plus- all the Saddlebreds I ride with always get out of the pasture at one point.

There are lots of Facebook groups that sell saddlebreds for hacking! They’re very popular

check out american saddlebred western class; plenty there on yt.

look up bill shatner on saddlebreds

i do. I struggle with self-esteem so seeing this made me happy. It makes me feel more confidence in myself. It’s truly therapeutic.

@@johannaappleforest7482 I wanted to see the horses and learn about the breed. So.......yay for you

Shelly Webster they are bred that way! (I would not reccoment making your horse have a high tail set, as it causes them a ton of pain if they aren’t bred that way!)

@ShellyWebster they tie the tails. It causes huge pain to the horse. Nothing you see on this video is natural. Pulling on the bit, big lick methods etc is just cruel

@@CloseToExtinction this isn’t big lick-this is saddleseat. Wtf.... us saddleseat riders DESPISE big lick and think it should end. These horses are NATURALLY gaited, and NATURALLY high tails.

@@chrishale1345 YEA!

@@chrishale1345 STOP LYING!!!...the Tail Tendons are CUT when they're baby horses!

the saddle seat discipline is NOTHING like the big lick. Obviously you have not done any research and are just relying on looks for your point. Saddlebreds are not abused and are not sored and unlike the media says they are treated very well and are very well taken care of. The only reason they put their hands up to that height and use full bridles are because of the natural headset and the behavior of that horse. The ONLY similarity in theses two disciplines are that they have a similar saddle. The Big Lick mainly sores,breaks tails, and puts big block on the hoofs. Oh and they use a completely different breed of horse(the Tennessee Walker) the difference in saddlebreds and the Tennessee walker is that one have a very exaggerated step and headset( the saddlebred) and the other is a breed mainly known for its gait and doesn’t have a big headset(Tennessee walkers). So many people always hate on the saddleseat discipline because of the big lick. So only speak out if you know what your talking about please.

@ S B you obviously don't have a clue about riding (considering what you re-post on your channel). Horses who are involved with Saddle seat, have their ears forward, and a willingly going. I ride Saddle seat, and I can tell you that most riders in every discipline (except the big lick) are good. Saddle seat is unique, and is an adrenaline rush, for both the rider and the horse. These horses naturally move this way, and their headset is natural. They are bred to do this, and I can assure you that they all get lots of pats, treats and love. Watch some GoPro footage of Saddle seat riders, and you will see that their care for their horses is extraordinary. I am actually writing a petition on the big lick, to illegalize it. So, if you would like to make a difference 1.) do some research on Saddle seat and big lick, and 2.) you can type your name for the print in the comments, and I will use your account name for the signature. Now go out there, educate yourself, and stop hating on Saddle seat!!!-Josie on her dads account

Also, Saddle seat is protected by the USEF, and unlike the big lick, has rules to protect the Morgans, Saddlebreds, Hackneys, Roadsters, Freisans, and Arabians, so that they can all have fun, and enjoy the adrenaline rush of Saddle seat riding:)-Josie on her dads account

S B honestly, go do your reaserch- this is nothing like the big lick. Your making yourself look like a clown 🤡

@@richardwelsh3040 So tail- tying is because people love the horse?! It causes huge pain to the horse only in order to make them look better because someone had a sick vision
