Pennsylvania Saddlebred Association

About Us

Our Mission

PSHA promotes the American Saddlebred at the local level by supporting horse shows, educating the public about the virtues & versatility of the breed, encouraging interest for everyone from longtime supporters to newcomers, and awards yearly high point awards for performance at our local shows.

Our History

Established in the early 1980’s, PSHA is a registered charter club of the American Saddlebred Horse Association. We were honored to have been named Charter Club of the year in 2005 for our dedication to the breed and to our members. PSHA has also managed the Keystone Classic Horse Show for nearly 25 years.

Our Breed

The graceful Saddlebred is the ultimate show horse as well as an enjoyable pleasure mount. Saddlebreds possess that people-oriented quality called personality, endearing them to their owners & admirers. Their conformation makes them very comfortable to ride and their animation, speed & intelligence make them equally as exciting.
