Woa there Heidi, I don't think so. At least not the American Saddlebred.  His 
foundations were laid when the Galloway and Hobby Horses were brought to 
North America by the British.  Thru selective breeeding came the Narraganset 
Pacer (Paul Revere's horse).  This happened during the 1600's.

The first Thouroughbreds were imported to North America in 1706.  By 1776 the 
American Horse was established mixing the Narraganset Pacer breed with the 
Thoroughbred.  During this period crosses of Morgan, Standardbred, and 
Hackney also contributed to what today is the American Saddlebred.

Please show me the heavy Arabian blood here.  I don't see it.  

cya,
Howard
