	American Saddlebred Horse Guide to Training Techniques, Care, and Conditi (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		By "show horse" we refer to the American Saddlebred Horse, the Morgan Horse, Hackney and Shetland show ponies, and related breeds that are judged on the square, motioned trot.
		Comparing conformation of the American Saddlebred Horse to that of his Thoroughbred ancestors, we note that the center of balance moves from well over the withers (in the Thoroughbred) to well back behind them, distributing weight more evenly between fore and hind quarters, and freeing up the shoulders to perform more "airily" with light-footed motion.
		The pacing cross produced a horse with not only a balanced square motioned trot, but a tendency toward unilateral gaits, as in the case of the American Saddlebred, the "single-foot", the "slow gait", and with a little additional speed the "rack." He and the Morgan Horse were a pleasure and comfort to ride.

	American Saddlebred Breed Description
		The American Saddlebred is descended from the Narragansett Pacer, a breed that is technically "extinct" in the United States.
		In the early 1700s, Narragansett mares were crossed with imported English Thoroughbreds, and their descendents were known simply as the "American Horse." Horses of this type had the size and refinement of the Thoroughbred, but retained the ability to learn the pacing gaits that were the forte of their Narragansett ancestors.
		The American Horse played an essential role in the American Revolution, and by the early 1800s these sturdy horses were prized for their endurance and style.
