FREEMAN FARMS INTRODUCES THOUSANDS TO THE AMERICAN SADDLEBRED!
During the month of October, Freeman Farms introduced some 20,000 Pumpkin Festival visitors to the American Saddlebred horse! Spectators were treated to a choreographed tribute to the American Saddlebred and learned how Saddlebreds were important partners in the development of this Country.
Sarabande Academy of Riding from Tucson, Arizona, appeared and Youth Club Members made special presentations to the audience. The girls did a great job and were well received!
Children, parents and teachers from over thirty schools also attended Freeman Farms throughout the month of October and learned about the American Saddlebred horse during the farm animal presentation. Children were challenged to contemplate life without motorized vehicles and to think of the attributes they would want in an animal on their farm. Interestingly, most chose the Saddlebred after only minutes of observing one in action and cited "size, energy, strength and speed" as primary reasons!
Saddlebreds in action speak for themselves!

American Saddlebred Horses in Arizona
Although they are most commonly known as the "Peacock of the Show Ring," American Saddlebred horses are actually very athletic and versatile horses that have great hearts and warm, willing personalities. The breed was developed by early American settlers who needed a horse strong, fast and comfortable enough to ride great distances, yet large enough and with sufficient endurance to pull carriages and light equipment. These horses excel in in many equestrian sports including: endurance, jumping, dressage, and even in working cattle. They make excellent trail horses, with a very comfortable trot that can be ridden all day.
If you are a trail riding enthusiast, you should give the American Saddlebred a try. If you live in or are moving to Arizona, be sure to enjoy the gorgeous Arizona desert from the back of an American Saddlebred horse. American Saddlebreds are sure-footed and, with their large heart capacity, make excellent endurance horses.
