First foal from imported mare Wildest Heart and stallion It’s Hammer All Around. Bred and owned by Mr Robin Neal.

Also it is very satisfactory to learn from the publishers that Cheryl’s book “The American Saddlebred” is selling very well on a global basis. It is another aspect of her innovative promotional program that has helped spread the word about our breed. We have received superb feedback from a variety of readers, most saying they had not previously realised what a wonderful and interesting breed it is.

We would also like to congratulate Peter Cowart and She’s A Red Hot Chili Pepper, on their win at Louisville last year. The $10,000 Five-Gaited Mares class also offers Cheryl’s donated trophy in memory of her mare Rare Visions. We have established a permanent portfolio of the winners (which started with Glider’s Star in 2005) to add to the ASAoGB’s extensive Saddlebred archive here in Great Britain.
