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.
