More About Quarter Horses:
Quarter Horses- or the American Quarter Horse- originate from America and get their name because they are the fastest horse running a quarter of a mile. They were originally bred to work on ranches; built sturdy to carry heavy riders, low to the ground to make frequent mounting and dismounting easy, and “quick as a cat” to work cattle with ease. Over the years, the breed has evolved into one of the most versatile breeds- competing in events ranging from the traditional working ranch horse to dressage, to light harness driving, to western pleasure, to barrel racing, and still competing in quarter-mile racing. HETRA’s Quarter Horses- Coby, Diamond, Georgie, Ivy, Jewel, Macy, Rainbow, and Red are a GREAT example of the diversity of the breed.

HETRA 401HAY Plan – A Retirement Fund for Our Horses
At HETRA, our horses are more than partners—they’re family. After years of dedicated service providing therapy, support, and joy to our participants, they deserve a comfortable and well-cared-for retirement. The 401HAY Plan ensures our horses have the resources they need for proper nutrition, medical care, and safe pasture time once they transition out of active work. By contributing to this fund, you help us honor their years of service with the dignified retirement they deserve.
