- 【英语】American Standardbred(美国标准马)
品种描述
Height: 1.42m-1.72m. Color: Often bay, dark bay, also black, chestnut, liver chestnut, sometimes gray and roan, a few pintos. Since it is selected above all for speed, its morphology can be variable, but it resembles the Thoroughbred, from which it has descended, though it is smaller and stockier. It has a rather large head with a straight profile; broad chest; powerful shoulders; slightly prominent withers; long back; very powerful croup; and solid legs. Its unique quality is having a croup that is always slightly higher than the withers. Distribution: United States; Canada; Europe; Australia; New Zealand, and elsewhere in the world. Bold, confident, energetic, and docile, it has a powerful spring. It is essentially raised for trotting and pacing races, although it can be used as a saddle horse. The breed is very popular in the United States and throughout the world, wherever there are trotting races.
繁育历史
This famous American trotter is at the top of the list in trotting races, which makes it the most renowned trotter in the world. It can also be a pacer, pacing races being popular in the United States. The breed is the result of crossings between a foundation of English Thoroughbred and Canadian, Norfolk Trotter (extinct), Hackney, Arab-Barb, and Morgan. The foundation stud was named Hambletonian 10. Good horses can be sold for astronomical sums.
