• Source: Denmark (horse)

Denmark (foaled 1839) was Thoroughbred stallion who became a major foundation sire of the American Saddlebred horse breed. Over 60% of all the horses in the first three volumes of the Saddlebred studbook trace back to him. Denmark sired the stallion Gaines' Denmark, an influential sire of the breed, out of the "Stevenson mare" (b. 1848), a part-bred mare by Cockspur - a descendant of Janus (x2, Godolphin Arabian line) and Sir Archy (Byerley Turk line) - out of a Canadian Horse dam.




Life


Denmark was a brown Thoroughbred stallion foaled in Kentucky in 1839, sired by an imported Thoroughbred named Hedgeford, of the Byerley Turk sire line. He sired the stallion Gaines' Denmark, who became an influential sire. Denmark was used as a cavalry horse in the American Civil War.




Influence


When the National Saddle Horse Breeders' Association, precursor to the American Saddlebred Horse Association, was founded in 1891, Denmark was named as one of 17 foundation sires. 60% of the horses in the first three volumes of the registry traced to him. In 1908, the directors of the National Saddle Horse Breeders' Association voted to make Denmark the sole foundation sire, although Harrison Chief was included as an additional foundation sire for the breed in 1991. For over 150 years, the Denmark bloodline was the best-known within the Saddlebred breed, and Saddlebreds were sometimes referred to as "Denmarks".
