Quarter horse

           
Quarter horse
What are quarter horses used for quarter horses are one of the most popular horses in the redo. They are used for gaming such as barrels, pole bending, dash for cash, western pleaser and hoarding cow’s sheep and other farm animals. Their coloring varies from bay, black and brown and includes chestnut, palomino, buckskin and grey. The quarter horse breed is known for its small, short and refined head and straight profile as well as its broad chest and powerful hindquarters. Standing between 14 and 16 hands, about five-feet-tall at the withers, they are bred with two main body types. The stock type, which is more compact and muscular yet extremely agile, and the racing type that may be slightly taller with smoother muscles typically trained for running quarter mile sprints. The quarter horse breeds usually shown in competition are larger, more muscular horses. And they are also a great horse to have around the farm for trail rides and giving ridding lessons.
