Quarter Horse

 

Jack is a Quarter Horse from Mexico.

 

The Quarter Horse Got its name Because it is great at Running short distances, a quarter of a Mile. In the sevententh and eightenth centry when the english were settling in america, they cross bred spanish-base stock with there own, imported horses. Doing this made an all round work horse. Over time working with cattle these beasts developed a "cow Sense" and they could anticipate the movements of stopping and turning at extraordinary speed. A Quarter Horse has a short head with Large loving eyes, alert ears and a small muzzle. They have Broad chests and wide set back legs. They can range from about 14.3-16hh for both Stallions/Geldings and Mares. They can be found in any solid color. The Quarter Horse will be great for any western sport.
