This includes, but is not limited to, educational institutions, governmental agencies, civic organizations, and the general public in an effort to promote the horse industry and the American Saddlebred breed. Additionally, we are here to cooperate with and assist horse show managers and organizations who promote shows in the selection and spacing of classes of our breed, and to develop better horse shows in New York State.
