Quarter Horses

History: Quarter horses come from a combination of mustang, Arab, Spanish Barb and Morgan blood. They were named the Quarter horse because they are blindingly fast at a quarter of a mile. Ranchers bred them because they wanted an intelligent, fast, agile, versatile mount. Quarter horses are also very laid-back and quiet.

The American Quarter Horse Association, or AQHA, was started in the early 1940's. The breed continued to grow throughout the decades. Now, over 2 million horses are registered with the AQHA.

Characteristics: There are three distinct types of Quarter horses: the "bulldog" type, which tends to be the smallest and the most muscular; the Thoroughbred type, which is taller and leaner; and the in-between type, which has characteristics from both types. All Quarter horses have a fine head with small, fox-like ears and a broad forehead. Their backs are strong with good withers and a sloping croup. The heart girth is deep and the legs are quite short and strong. Quarter horses are famous for their exceptionally powerful hindquarters. The average height of a foundation Quarter horse is between 14 and 15 hands; the average height of a Quarter horse with Thoroughbred blood is anywhere from 15 to 16 hands.

Quarter horses are very laid-back, reliable and willing. They are intelligent and sensible.

Uses: Quarter horses are a very versatile breed, doing everything from team penning to jumping. Quarter horses are known to have good cow instincts and so are often the breed of choice for competitive roping, cattle-penning and ranch work. They make great reining horses as well because of their strong hindquarters. They are quick and agile and have good stamina. They also make exceptional barrel horses. Because they are so laid-back, they make great trail horses.
