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.

Cleveland Bays Gather at Upperville

Marthasafari

The Upperville Colt and Horse Show in Virginia was the place to be for Cleveland Bay owners from the mid-Atlantic in early June. Over 20 horses competed in hand and under saddle. As rare as the Cleveland Bay horse is, they competed at Upperville when it first was held in 1853. The founder of Upperville,Colonel Richard Henry Dulany imported the champion Cleveland Bay stallion Scrivington from England in the 1850's and started breeding quality horses. Upperville was just the perfect show venue for Colonel Dulany over 150 years ago and was again a great place to show the versatility and presence of the Cleveland Bay. Below are results. Congratulations to all those that attended.
