Day 1 · Saturday
Half an hour in the museum makes every bloodline you'll see in the pasture afterward read sharper. The order matters.
The American Saddlebred is a breed Kentucky shaped — high-stepping, theatrical, bred for the show ring. Most people see a Saddlebred for the first time in a pasture and don't know what they're looking at. Half an hour in the museum is the cheapest education available.
