Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long associated with fine Thoroughbred horses, Kentucky's Bluegrass region is also home to America's oldest indigenous breed: the American Saddlebred horse. A composite of several breeds, the Saddlebred was developed by 18th century colonists who sought a good looking, sensible, adaptable, and comfortable animal to ride and drive. These traits made it the mainstay of the Confederate cavalry during the Civil War and the choice mount of many generals on both sides. As the Industrial Revolution replaced the need for working horsepower, the Saddlebred evolved naturally into recreational activities. Affectionately known as "peacock of the show ring," the Saddlebred's beauty, expression, and athleticism epitomize the essence of a show horse. In many ways, the breed's history parallels that of America and unfolds in pictures in Kentucky's Saddlebred Heritage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Horse shows used to draw crowds by the thousands to state fairs and venues such as Madison Square Garden. And in the 1980s, no performance horse filled more arena seats than the American Saddlebred Sky Watch. He pushed the saddle seat industry to a peak that hasn't been seen since. An athlete through and through, the stallion dominated the sport with the same power and intensity as a Kentucky Derby winner. With unmatched talent, Sky Watch earned four World Grand Championships and twelve World titles overall, making his career one for the history books. Years after Sky Watch finished competing, videos of his legacy in the ring captured the heart of author and lifelong horsewoman Emma Hudelson. Her fascination with the unstoppable stallion sent her on a journey to discover how a horse becomes a legend, convinced that if she can capture the magic behind the greatest show horse of all time, maybe she can understand her own obsession with Saddlebreds. Sky Watch: Chasing an American Saddlebred Story is not only the tale of a remarkable horse, but of the American Saddlebred breed and the way these horses carried one rider back to herself. Tracking the path of Sky Watch's success, Hudelson's book is a deeply personal homage to one of the sport's greatest show horses and the indelible impression he left on the breed and in the hearts of those who loved him.

Book excerpt: Have you ever asked yourself about the American Saddlebred in Michigan? Does it seem possible that a state mainly known for the automotive industry and the Great Lakes could in anyway be connected to the equine industry? Let's take ourselves back in time to an era where American Saddlebreds were flourishing in Michigan, and where spectators came in their finest clothing to watch the peacocks of the show ring perform. Come and let's read about some of the farms that were here in Michigan and all that they encompassed. Let's learn more about the Dodge dynasty and how they made history in Saddlebreds while they were in Michigan and in Kentucky. Let's learn about Oklahoma Peavine and his daughter, a sensation who was a gifted five-gaited mare for the Dodge show. You will find reading through this book about the farms of the past and what they contributed to the breed. Some bloodlines have died out, but others are still thriving. We as Michiganders have a lot to be proud of, with having over forty farms and numerous wonderful stallions and horse shows and people who have made their mark in the Saddlebred world. So please sit back and enjoy reading about the Great American Saddlebred horse of Michigan's past.
