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.

Endurance Initiation

NSH stallion American Gothic (Canyonleigh Gold Bar X Formosa Park Espirit) had his first start in Endurance at New Italy QLD a few weeks ago. I had been awaiting photos before I posted but the best I could get was this one which was cooling down after the event. At least it proves he was there!

Owned by Jessica Gall of Rhiannon Arabians and ridden by Heavyweight rider Darren Pendercast (apparently a devout stockhorse person who totally fell in love with Gothic!) Jess reports there was a lot of interest in him and even an offer to buy him!
He vetted through with flying colours and a terrific heartrate (41,46) Not bad for his first ride and he behaved very well in all situations. Next ride was planned to be Eden Valley last weekend but it was a bit of a washout after all the rain of late...
