Welcome to the National American Saddlebred Horse Society blog

WELCOME to our blog.....
We will eventually be utilising this blog as our main news page, which will be linked to from our main website http://www.americansaddlebred.org/
It is currently able to be used by NASHS members by invitation only and will be well moderated.
However, due to the nature of the internet it is still able to be viewed by others so please note: DO NOT post any information or pictures you would not liked viewed by other outside parties.
All comments will be viewed prior to posting so please keep the content clean, polite and non-political.
Any comments found to be defamatory and/or not in the best interests of the club or the breed will be deleted immediately. A series of warnings will be issued to the person and any continuation of the same behaviour will result in a ban on posting and a membership status review.
Please bear with us as we become familiar with the blog attributes and eventually in time more pages of interest will be added.
This will not replace the website due to it's obvious restrictions, so please refer to the website for any other information, downloads etc.

In order to be fair to all members we request that you try to keep photos to a minimum of 1-2 per post.
The HOME page is the only page where you can actually post to. So, other pages such as club announcements will remain as a stand alone information source.
Thankyou, Regards Admin.

One for Marg ...

This is why I love the idea of this blog. It was great to read about Paeon, as I realised my filly is closely related to him (her dam is also bred closely to JP and her sire to Sirocco) and from the snaps he looks very much like my Esprit. Ive always suspected her bent would be eventing as she's a bold jumper - she almost jumped the very wide bonnet of my car when a cpl of months old before she was stopped on takeoff and unhesitatingly jumped out of a paddock when chased by a dog at 6 months old. So I'll follow Pan's progress keenly. Her full brother has also just started eventing with his new owner and theyre loving it. Out of interest a partbred mare from Sparkling Glen stud (SP Winsome) by C Stars and Stripes made it to the olympic shortlist in showjumping a few years back before retiring as her owner got pregnant and the partbred pony Ashcroft Park Inspiration by C Golden Jubilee has done very well in jumping here in WA so the ASBs may soon be taking over another sport if we can get a few more stars out there performing :)
