The Golden American Saddlebred is a color breed and is registered with the American Saddlebred Horse Association. They are unique in their blonde coloring, which is due to a cream dilution gene<\/a> in their bloodlines. The first American Saddlebred<\/a> animal to display the golden coat was a foal who was born in 1864 named Pat Cleburne, thus beginning a new line of genetics. These animals follow breeding and type guidelines of the ASHA and the main requirement for registering and breeding is the shiny copper palomino coloring. Although, it’s not just about color, this breed should be well refined and smooth to ride. <\/p>\n Average height 15 – 17 hands<\/p>\n Head is shapely and well proportioned Color varies from creme to deep copper, but ideal coloration is the color of a gold coin with a white mane and tail. This is due to a cream dilution gene<\/a> on a chestnut base<\/a>. <\/p>\n Well mannered and willing Show horse
