Saddlebred Record is designed to provide a reference source of current and accurate information concerning the breeding records of Saddlebred stallions and mares, to identify successful breeding combinations, to identify and honor the outstanding performers of the show ring, and to keep the history of the breed. Upon earning enough points* at USEF "A" rated horse shows and being approved as a Champion, a horse will be awarded the permanent "CH" prefix to its name on ASR records. Saddlebred Record Champions, along with their sires and dams, are acknowledged each year in the American Saddlebred Reference Directory.
*American Saddlebreds competing in the performance, park, and show pleasure divisions must earn 15 points. American Saddlebreds competing in the country pleasure division must earn 90 points from a wider class selection and a more rewarding point system.
