About the Standard Bred Breed
.This is the official name of the famous
American trotting and pacing horses. Harness racing, whether
trotting or pacing (which is the lateral movement as opposed
to the diagonal), may be said to hold pride of place in popularity
as a horse spectacle with the American public; and these animals
are bred and trained with extreme care and with truly American
scientific efficiency.
The father of the modern Standard trotter was Rysdyk’s
‘Hambletonian’, also known as ‘Hambletonian
10’ from his standard number in the register. Foaled in
1849, he descended in three ways (direct male line and two collateral
crosses) from the English Thoroughbred ‘Messenger’,
the fons et origo of all American trotting horses, who, himself
the son of the Norfolk Trotter ‘Bellfounder’, was
imported to America in 1788. And through him the breed goes
back in the male line through ‘Blaze’ to the Darley
Arabian. Allied with this principal foundation element are many
other Thoroughbred strains, and also Morgan, Norfolk Trotter
and other light horse strains.
The Standard Bred trotter breed dates officially from 1879,
when the National Association of Trotting Horse Breeders adopted
a set of rules for admission to the American Trotting Register
(first published in 1871) based on speed. The rules have been
varied from time to time according to the great progress made
in the establishment of the type, and now the Standard, from
being largely one of performance and speed on the racetrack,
is one of blood only. Selective breeding under that standard
has transformed an initially composite type into a homogenous
and firmly established one, renowned the world over; and the
trotting horses of Europe all owe something to the American
breed.
The characteristics of the breed are generally Thoroughbred,
with modifications due to differences in gait and work. In the
main the Standard Bred is heavier-limbed and more robustly built
than the Thoroughbred, with longer body, shorter legs and greater
endurance. The average height is 15.2 hands; 16 hands is seldom
reached, while 15 hands is usually the lower limit. The weight
in racing condition is 900lb to 1,000lb. The horse possesses
unequalled heart and stamina, which enable it to run heat after
heat at top speed without flagging.
