Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. During what event is the American Saddlebred World's Grand Championship Horse Show held?

Answer: Kentucky State Fair

The World's Championships have been held at the KY State Fair since 1917.
2. How many beats are in the slow-gait and the rack?

Answer: 4

The slow-gait and rack are what are called "man made gaits" - they are natural to the Saddlebred but will not be performed under saddle until the trainer trains the horse to perform them.
3. Saddlebreds are allowed to pace in the show ring in any riding class.

Answer: False

Horses pace when they are not correctly performing the slow-gait and the rack, and this fault is penalized in the show ring.
4. American Saddlebred show horses are often compared to what bird?

Answer: Peacock

This term is usually said referring to the 3-Gaited horse, but it has been used to describe all show ring Saddlebreds.
5. The saddlebred is known as 'the horse that America made'.

Answer: True

It was bred in the USA from the horses brought by the British, particularly the Galloway and Hobbie.
6. Saddlebred horses are required to flat walk in which division?

Answer: Pleasure

Pleasure is the only division that requires a flat walk - all of the other divisions allow either an animated or flat footed walk.
7. A Fine Harness cart (also known as a viceroy) has how many wheels?

Answer: 4

Pleasure carts only have 2 wheels, but Fine Harness carts have 4.
8. Which division allows horses to wear protective boots in the show ring?

Answer: 5-Gaited

5-Gaited horses are the most likely to, while showing at speed at the rack or trot, forge (hit their front feet with their back feet).

The Lemon Drop Kid was the only Saddlebred to ever be featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated.
