The United States rides stallions
American Saddlebred
American stallions originated during the British colonial period. The small horses of the British Isles were brought to the United States by colonists, and in 1700 the British colonies became "Americanized", leading to the American Revolution. In the early 18th century the first thoroughbred horses in the United States were shipped. Thoroughbred was developed in the United Kingdom, with native mares Galloway and Hobby mated with stallions from the Middle East. At the same time, NarragansettPacer, a Narragansett, also developed in the United States. Around 1776 a horse named "American Horse" American Horse was identified as having the characteristics of riding a stallion in the United States. They retain both the endurance and light gait of the NarragansettPacer, while also having the size and quality of a Thorogurbred.
The American pioneers of 1800 crossed the Blue Ridge westward, and slavery became a national problem in 1840. As the country developed, the demand for horses diminished in the east, and American horses went west with the pioneers in the early and mid-19th centuries. Hedgeford, imported to the United States in 1839, gave birth to a thoroughbred male horse, Denmark, in Kentucky. Denmark then gave birth to Gaines' Denmark with a female horse with natural light footwork, and Gaines' Denmark established the Denmark family of American stallions. Of the first three installments of horses registered with the American Association of Horse Riders, America Saddlebred, 60 percent can be traced back to Gaines' Denmark.
In the late 18th century, another horse that laid the foundation for the development of the American mounted stallion was Called Harrison Chief, who had a similar pedigree to Denmark, whose paternity was Messenger, a thoroughbred horse imported to the United States in 1788. It was not until 1991, when the American Herding Horse Association ASHA, the American Stock Horse Association was commemorated, that the Harrison Chief was designated as the founding stallion. The Messenger has also been traced back to being the founding horse of morgan horses, standard race horses, Standard Race horses, and Hackney. Another interesting thing is that the horses of the Denmark family and the Chief family both come from the same horse, the ancient thoroughbred Maze. The American Horse and its descendants not only went west with the pioneers, they also followed the followers of Kentucky reclamation pioneer Daniel Boone to Cumberland Gap at Cumberland Point. As pioneers settled in Kentucky and raised livestock, these horses became the founding horses of Kentucky Herding. Demand for this type of horse rose sharply after the Anglo-American War of 1812 and became an important factor in settling in the Upper Ohio Valley in the Ohio Valley. It has even triggered better competition in Missouri and Kentucky who raises American horses. It was then that horse performance projects appeared.
The first recorded horse performance was in Lexington, Kentucky, in 1817. Historians tend to believe that these performances appeared as public entertainment earlier than in 1817. By the time of the Mexican War of 1846, the Mexican War, American stallion riding had developed perfectly. In 1856, St. Louis St. Louis, the largest city west of Mississippi. Louis, which hosted the first grand bazaar and the first major horse show in the United States. Post-war St. Louis Bazaar St. Louis Fair re-organized the selection and competition of various horse races that came to St. Louis, and in the 1870s, horses of Denmark descent had always been the best in the race of riding horses. This horse-like carnequin is becoming more and more popular. By the 1880s, this economic possibility had led breeders to seek information about the pedigree of horses. Charles F. Mills of Springfield, the capital of Illinois, began collecting and compiling information on horse pedigree and establishing registry regulations. On April 7, 1891, The Farmers Home, a magazine in Louisville, Kentucky, called for the association, and on that day the registry was established, which was the first horse breeding association in the United States.
American rode stallions were also used as public horses, but some people began to try to train these horses to perform for a living. In 1893, a black stallion named Rex McDonald caught the attention of the crowd during the performance. In 1900, another outstanding horse named Bourbon King came to the public, which also attracted everyone's attention and promoted the development of such horses as performance horses in the future.
American Saddlebred is popular on the show floor, but is also well known for other uses such as horse-drawn carriage racing, obstacle courses, dressage steps, and Western Cycling Western Pleasure. Whatever the use of horses, enthusiasts who love these horses can see elegance and meekness. If properly trained, riding a horse can have more room for development.
The Narragansett Pacer, developed in the Narragansett Bay area of Rhode Island, moves with the front and back feet on the same side of the body, and the beat of the ground is different from the time. Riding this horse was more comfortable than the traditional fast pace of moving alongside the diagonal limbs, which were very popular with colonists at the time
Welcome, a large number of exports to Canada, the West Indies. By the 1700-1799th century, Narragansett Pacer began to cross extensively with the English thoroughbred Thorogbred brought by the colonists, and even with larger Spanish horses, eventually leading to the extinction of the purebred Narragansett horses.
In addition to mating with Narragansett horses in the 19th century, the 1800-1899 hybrid horses were also doped with the bloodlines of the working horses from Rhode Island plantations, morgan horses Morgan, standard stallion horses Standardbred, and Canadian horses Canadian Pacer. As immigrants moved west, these Kentucky Saddle Horses were sold across the United States. As the market matures, it is slowly promoted at horse exhibitions held in various places. Early horse exhibitions in Kentucky, Virginia, and Missouri were very interesting for Kentucky horse riding. The first All-American Horse Fair at St. Louis's Market in 1856 was even more prominent, with Kentucky Riding Horse becoming a well-known horse in the United States and the most valuable commercial product in Kentucky, with numerous deals in both the West and the South.
The Narragansett horse is extinct in the United States today, but its stride characteristics are visible in many breeds of horses. In addition to riding stallions, there are Tennessee Walking Horse, Canadian horses Canadian Pacer, and Paso Fina, a Bassoma in Puerto Rico.
In addition to the original slow walk, fast walk trate and running canter, American Saddlebred has developed two special steps: stepping slow gait, stepping pace and lifting rack have become the biggest features of american stallion riding. Therefore, the horse that only walks slowly, quickly and runs in three traditional steps is called the three-step horse three-step horse three-gaited horse, and the horse that can step and lift in addition to the three steps is called the five-step horse five-gaited horse.
Stepping and lifting is the innate pace of riding a stallion in the United States. The front and rear feet of the horse's body move almost together on the same side, but the back foot lands a little earlier than the front foot. The step is a highly contracted movement in which all four feet land on the ground, and it performs at a very slow speed but with great precision and exudes a glorious style. The step is four feet landing at an average time interval, and because the horse's movements are unrestrained, the pace is smooth, faster and more vigorous.
With the end of the Civil War, the marketing strategy of the horse breeding industry was to make the horse show more attractive to the public. So the mast joined the sports competition; Set the rules of the race and require the horses to perform special steps, such as slow pace, lifting the rack, running running run walk, foxtrot fox trot, etc. These steps became unique to Kentucky riding horses, and only horses that can do so can be registered as Kentucky rides.
The National Saddle Horse Breeders Association of 1891 designated the Riding Horse as an official breed, and in 1899 it was called American Riding Horse American SaddleHorse, so the association was also known as the American Riding Horse Breeding Association American SaddleHorse Association. In 1980 the American Riding Horse was renamed the American Riding Stallion, and the Association was renamed the American Riding Stallion Breeding Association American Saddlebred Horse Association. until
At the end of the 20th century, the American horse riding horse still had a very practical value.
