The Half Saddlebred Registry of America was founded in 1971 by Roberta Nye Busch, who perceived a need for a recording organization when owners from other breeds bred mares to her American Saddlebred stallion, Flying Eagle Peavine 32802. After 25 years at the helm of the Registry, Busch requested that the American Saddlebred Horse Association become the administrator of the program. ASHA stepped into the role on July 15, 1996.

The Registry reflects many breed crossings with Saddlebred mares and stallions. Registered Half Saddlebreds are found in the United States, Canada, France and Germany.

The Half Saddlebred offers characteristics similar to his Saddlebred parent – smooth gaits, willingness to work with people, intelligence and versatility. The Half Saddlebred can be a trail horse, endurance horse, jumper, dressage, carriage horse or just a backyard friend.
