The National
Show Horse was developed in 1981, but not bred and recognized
until 1982. It is a breed that is combined of the Arabian
and the American Saddlebred for their characteristics.
They are a chrismatic, exciting, athletic animal that
thrill the crowds whenever they are brought into the
ring. They have the beauty, stamina and refinement of
the Arabian paired with the high-stepping motion and
size of the American Saddlebred. It exhibits balanced,
powerful motion coming from the hindquarters, with flexion
and extension in the front legs. In addition to their
beauty and charisma, it also has a wonderful disposition.
The Nationl Show Horse is a fairly large and attractive
animal. It has a small head with a straight or concave
profile, much like that of an Arabian. It has large
eyes and a small nose. Its neck is high-set and long
and it does not have a pronounced chest. The withers
are pronounced and it has sloping shoulders. Its back
is short and level and its forearms are long and short
cannons in the front, with long, angled pasterns on
both the front and rear legs. The tail is natural and
high-set. The National Show Horse can appear in any
color that Arabians and American Saddlebreds do. They
are sometimes called "Peacock of the Showring." |
