Among all of the breeds of horse known to date, the Quarter Horse is the most reliable and willing. These horses, which were the first breed of the United States, were originally bred to be work horses for the colonists, descending from English Thoroughbreds brought from the Europeans, and the Chickasaw Horse from the Native Americans, mixing a horse of valor and agility with one of speed and work ethic. Aside from the Quarter Horse's prime purpose of work, he was also used as a race horse, quickly becoming known as the "World's Fastest Athlete". As Thoroughbreds began to become more established in the New World, they began to breed with the Quarter Horse to create what we now know as the Thoroughbred race horse.

Aside from the speed of the Quarter Horse, this breed proves to continuously be bomb proof and, these animals are seen across the country as true athletes to any equine discipline.

Whether you're a competitive show jumper or an avid barrel racer, you can rest assured that your Quarter Horse has what it takes to master nearly any equine discipline. What with their compact athletic build and short muscular legs you can count on them to turn on a dime, jump with ease, and gallop to the finish in a matter of seconds.

All in all, the Quarter Horse has more heart and love than any competing breed. If you look into the eyes of one of these beautiful equine companions, you will see nothing more than love, trust, and a personality that, with the help of his rider, knows no fear.
