The Kentucky Mountain Saddle Horse

The Kentucky Mountain Saddle Horse Association was developed to encourage selective breeding to maintain the much desired natural, smooth gait and gentle, willing diposition of these horses. They may be of any color, and can be classified in class A or B depending on height. They are of good confirmation with well proportioned bodies, necks, hinds, and legs.

The "saddle" gait is recognized and defined as a natural, distinct, four-beat gait (i.e. no artificial means used). This gait is smooth, even and very comfortable to the rider. The horse is expected to show a quiet disposition, but is alert and willing. These characteristics make for an excellent trail and all-around family horse. Having registered the local foundation mountain horses, the Registry was opened to receive other horses, possessing these traits. The stallion books are now closed but fillies/mares can still be registered. Currently, Class A consists of horses from 13.3 H with no upper limit in height, and Class B consists of horses from 11 H to 13.3 H. Other than height, both classes A and B, required the same standards for registration.
