The American Quarterhorse
The American Quarterhorse is sometimes called "the world's fastest athlete" for good reason
. The Quarterhorse got its name because of its incredible speed over short distances, making it being able to beat almost every other breed of horse over a quarter mile track. During times trials, the American Quarterhorse has reached 55 miles per hour.Though america's horse population is extremely varied, the most common breed is the American Quarterhorse. While the American Quarterhorse is often recognized as a show or race horse, the truth is that it is most often found working on ranches across the country. They have intricate speedy manouvers which are required for the work that a cow horse has to do. He is very good at all aspects of the Rodeo circuit,especially the ones that involve cattle.
The American Quarterhorse evolved during the 1600's when colonists began cross-breeding English thoroughbreds with indigenous horses. The naturalized Native American Chickasaw horse was descended from Iberian, Arabian and Barb stock, introduced to the Americas by the Conquistadors.
The western territory of America was being explored by settlers and entrepreneurs during the 1800's where they needed strong and loyal horses for the work at hand. The American Quarterhorse filled the bill. This westwar movement saw the breeding of the Quarterhorse; they were bred with the Indian domesticated mustangs. This resulted in the horse being born with an intrinsic sense for working with cattle which is referred to as "cow sense".
