★Description★

"There are more than 3 million Quarter Horses in the world, making them the largest horse breed in the world by population.
This hugely popular American horse gets its name from being incredibly fast over short distances: there are very few horses able to beat a Quarter horse in races shorter than a quarter of a mile.
The breed has its origins in the British Warmbloods introduced to North America by the colonists and pilgrims in the 1600s. They were crossed with other breeds, such as the Chickasaw horse as well as more 'classic' breeds like the Arabian fullblood.
The Quarter Horse is a steady and balanced horse with a calm temperament which is perfectly suited to hobby riding, competitive riding and use as a work horse. Quite simply a fantastic all-rounder!"

★Description★

"At the forefront of the American Frontier is a faithful companion who has played an instrumental role in shaping the rich culture and untamed spirit of North America. Sturdy yet agile, swift yet tranquil; This is the American Quarter Horse. The American Quarter Horse originated from early colonists breeding their English stallions with the indigenous Chickasaw peoples' mares. Both horses can be traced back to the fiery Barb horse, the mounts of early Spanish explorers. 

Fame fell upon the American Quarter Horse during the 19th Century, where they gained a reputation in Texas for their racing capabilities and skill for driving cattle. One famous American Quarter Horse, called Steel Dust, established fame for his unmatched skill as a quarter-mile match racer. Steel Dust's descendants were highly sought after by cowboys due to their speed and agility. Horses of this nature were often nicknamed "Steeldusts".

Through it all, the tough-as-nails American Quarter Horse endured the hardest of times on the unforgiving American Frontier, helping cowboys and ranchers make a home in the unforgiving Wild West.

The American Quarter Horse has a stocky silhouette defined by their dense muscle structure. Despite their powerful frame, they excel at sprinting short distances and are remarkably sure-footed. 

Today the robust American Quarter Horse remains an integral part of North American culture, featuring in rodeos, Western Pleasure, racing, and more. If you're looking for a trustworthy companion that captures the zeitgeist of the Wild West, you'll find a dear friend in the American Quarter Horse."
