Mission Statement

The Cleveland Bay Horse Society of North America is dedicated to promoting the Cleveland Bay Horse by fostering a forum for involvement and education while working with affiliates, organizations and individuals to preserve and increase the Cleveland Bay population worldwide. While preserving the breed's history, it is paramount that we ensure the Cleveland Bay's future by increasing knowledge to the public and breed enthusiasts through shows, expositions, publications, and research.

It is not only genetically stable, but emotionally stable. The Cleveland temperament is calm and equable, unflappable. … A Cleveland sire or a half-Cleveland dam tends to ensure progeny that uses its head and takes its time in confronting obstacles in the hunting field or on the event course or in the show jumping ring.
