Is a american saddlebred a warmblood or a hotblood?

Question

i'm doin a research paper so i need to know soon.

Answer 1

There was continual crossing with Thoroughbreds, along with other breeds including Arabian and Morgan. so i would think its a hot blood, because of the croosing w/ arabs and thoroughbreds.

Answer 2

Almost poistive classified as warmblood, but check out the registery site, always gives a historical overview of the breed's development, for saddlebreds  i believe : American Saddlebred Association of America.  Google it, it;s should be easy to find, just make sure it's the Official registery site.

Answer 3

i'm not sure...lol...a horse is a horse when it comes to warm blood cold blood. But the saddlebred is an amazing horse. Very pretty I used to have one named  jigsaw...i didn't name 'er lol....wait I think they're cold blooded. pretty sure of it.

warm blooded horses usually come from Europe..Saddlebred comes from Virgina area and Tennessee

Answer 4

I would classify it as a hotblood. Hot bloods were crossed with cold bloods to create a horse that was powerful but quiet and obedient and this does not describe the saddlebred. Saddlebreds are much more like arabians with their temperment and in some cases, more extreme. They have been bred in most cases, for show only where high head and tail carriage and high stepping is extremely important so you see a lot of very hot, very skittish horses.

Answer 5

In the 18th century, American colonists crossed the Narragansett pacer with the Thoroughbred. The American Saddlebred, formerly known as the American Saddle Horse, is a breed of horse that was developed in Kentucky by plantation owners. The Narragansett Pacer is a relatively unknown horse breed, although it was once quite famous. It was created in the state of Rhode Island in the 17th century, and has unknown ancestry. Some believe the Narragansett Pacer was produced from Irish Hobbies and Scottish Galloways, others believe from the Spanish Jennet. There is evidence of the breed as early as 1676. After the Revolutionary War, the breed became extinct.

From my experience watching them train  and their Thoroughbred genetics i would say it is a Hot blood.
