The American Saddlebred Registry registers approximately 3,000 horses a year and documents more than 5,500 transfers of ownership annually. Pedigree information is readily available to owners and breeders. Our microfilm archives hold over 80 years of Saddlebred history and records.
The Ameican Saddlebred Registry hosts a number of recognition programs to honor outstanding American Saddlebreds. Saddlebred Record allows horses competing in "A" rated USEF recognized horse shows to accumulate points and earn the right to have "CH" (Champion) become part of their registered names. Saddlebred Select honors the achievements of American Saddlebred horses in recognized competitive events through a point system. Pleasure horse awards honor top pleasure horses each year at the state and national levels. Sport Horse Year End Awards recognize the achievements of American Saddlebreds in Sport Horse disciplines through a high point year-end program.
The American Saddlebred Registry also manages the prize programs, which reward breeders, trainers and exhibitors more than $1 million each year. These prize programs – Kentucky and National Futurities, Sweepstakes and Grand National – all offer considerable cash prizes as incentives for breeding and showing quality American Saddlebred horses.
The Broodmare Hall of Fame is another recognition program conducted by the American Saddlebred Registry. A complete list of Hall of Fame Broodmares and standards to be included are available here. |
