And in the 1980s, no performance horse filled more arena seats than the American Saddlebred Sky Watch. He pushed the saddle seat industry to a peak that hasn't been seen since. An athlete through and through, the stallion dominated the sport with the same power and intensity as a Kentucky Derby winner. With unmatched talent, Sky Watch earned four World Grand Championships and twelve World titles overall, making his career one for the history books. Years after Sky Watch finished competing, videos of his legacy in the ring captured the heart of author and lifelong horsewoman Emma Hudelson. Her fascination with the unstoppable stallion sent her on a journey to discover how a horse becomes a legend, convinced that if she can capture the magic behind the greatest show horse of all time, maybe she can understand her own obsession with Saddlebreds. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eSky Watch: Chasing an American Saddlebred Story \u003c\/i\u003eis not only the tale of a remarkable horse, but of the American Saddlebred breed and the way these horses carried one rider back to herself. Tracking the path of Sky Watch's success, Hudelson's book is a deeply personal homage to one of the sport's greatest show horses and the indelible impression he left on the breed and in the hearts of those who loved him.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eEmma Hudelson \u003c\/b\u003eis a writer whose work has appeared in \u003ci\u003eThe Cincinnati Review, \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Chattahoochee Review, \u003c\/i\u003e and\u003ci\u003e The Rumpus.\u003c\/i\u003e She writes regularly for \u003ci\u003eSaddle \u0026amp; Bridle\u003c\/i\u003e.
