It is hard to say when American Saddlebred farms first began, but this event actually occurred prior to the Saddle Horse being officially recognized as a breed.   Since Colonial times the saddle horse as a type was valued and since the horse at that time was vital to the work and well-being of  humans, there also existed people who were involved in breeding and raising good saddle horses;  there was certainly land available to do so..  In time Saddlebreds romping , chomping in pastures and stables swept not only back roads but also main thoroughfares.
 
Since the inception of the breed, there have been many historic  American Saddlebred farms producing individual horses who helped both form and change the breed for the better, whose contributions have been outstanding. It is impossible to list them all here, but surely at a minimum, we should mention Kalarama Farm, Blythewood, Dodge Stables and Castleton Farm, and Ruxer Farms.  Well, the full list would be huge and the history overwhelming.   The large farms are the repository an enthusiasm held by many thousands of individual owners and breeders, and their love of this breed as well as what the horses themselves have accomplished in the record books and the ongoing gifts with which they grace people s lives.

American Saddlebred farms are now located all across the nation, and large or small are dedicated to producing the finest bloodstock and performers, whatever their duties in life turn out to be. The beauty of a fine horses has always been alluring to humans. Farms concentrate on the breeding and development of horses to improve both the process and result. Besides being key to a sport that generates large amounts of money annually, the four-legged stars of these farms are the focal point of a pastoral environment that makes man want to spend their lives on the farm !
