American Horse Breeds - What Horse Breeds Originated In America
A number of horse breeds originated and evolved in North America, a list of common American horse breeds include American Quarter Horses, Appaloosa Horses, Paint Horses & Spanish Mustangs. America is one of the biggest nations for the sport of horse racing and the breeding of race horses, below you can watch one of America`s most successful race horses American Pharoah.
ASHDA Improvement horses play an important role by providing us with a larger gene pool to help bring the American Sugarbush Harlequin Draft back from the brink of extinction. Each horse coming into the registry is reviewed for conformation close to the breed ideal. We prefer registered with one of our recognized outcross breeds, however we are willing to make exceptions as long as there are no faults. All horses applying for Improvement will be conformationally scored. ASHDA requires appropriate testing on all new Improvement and Approved horses. All stock horses must 5-panel, all Draft cross/unpapered horses must 5-panel and JEB1, all registered Belgian type drafts must test for PSSM1 and JEB1 and all registered non-Belgian types must test for PSSM1. Our goal is to assure this breed is not only correct in conformation, with wonderful temperaments, but genetically clean and sound. Pictured today is ASHDA Improvement stallion, BF Black Duke Geo, aka George, owned by Boisvert Farms.
