Re: [RC] [RC] Standardbreds.. & part.. - The Colliers

 Saddlebreds are taller, showier, and used more for english pleasure/park under saddle and driven.  Some are gated.   Standardbreds are bred to be cart horses.  Either pulling an Amish buggy, or trotting on a race track.  Standardbreds are nowhere near as refined, or standardized to a phenotype--as someone else mentioned here--as the Saddlebred.  Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the Saddlebred was developed in the South as a plantation owners horse--tall and narrow to step smartly between the tobacco rows while overseeing their plantations.
 
Your new horse can be registered NSH (National Show Horse) because of his Arabian/Saddlebred parentage.  A NSH is a Arabian/Saddlebred cross breed, which really does not bred true (as in phenotype) when two NSH's are bred together.  However, the product of a NSH/NSH mating is still registerable as a NSH.  But, if you want a NSH that looks like a NSH, you need to breed a purebred Arabian to a Saddlebred.

OK, I admit to being dumb!  What is the difference between a Standardbred
and a Saddlebred?  Are they both cart-trotting horses?  Just curious as my
new guy is registered 3/4 Arab and 1/4 Saddlebred, and Pinto (and can be
registered NSH).  And while we are at it, what is NSH?  I bought him for his
mind, not for how he is registered?
