Breeds

The Quarter Horse was established through the Thoroughbreds and Andalusia’s.

Thoroughbreds are unique and best recognized for horse racing since it first was established in 1174 England. The Thoroughbreds forte is long distance. They travel at high speeds born with a heart and lung capacity that is greater then the Quarter Horses, assisting them to compete at a fast pace for a longer duration of time. Commonly, Thoroughbreds stand at about 15 to 17 hands high and are high spirited, athletic horses. Black, chestnut, grey, brown or bay are the most usual colours of pure bread Thoroughbreds.  Thoroughbreds are a combination of the breeds Arab and Barb. As each Quarter Horse reveals a different height, it is evident that the taller, finer Quarter Horses consist of more Thoroughbred then Andalusia.

The Purebred Spanish Horse is another name for Andalusia’s.Andalusia’s are intelligent horses with great thick and long elegant manes and tails and are used for school dressage. They are normally grey in colour and stand at 15 or 16 hands high. They have a strong build and were used for Spanish bullfighting and cattle work in Spain.
