The Quarter Horse is the most popular breed.

Horses

The Quarter Horse is between 14.2 and 16 hands tall.

They have feathered hooves.

The Quarter horse is most commonly used for ranch work, thanks to its massive muscles and hindquarters.

The ‘bulldog’ type had massive shoulder muscles, large hindquarters, a barrel body and thick solid bone in the legs. This type of horse was and still is used as a working stock horse.

The Quarter Horse is believed to be the fastest over a quarter mile.

The most famous Arab horses are the Bedouin Arabs, know as the Original or Elite Arab.

Arabian

A Virginian, Nathan Harrison, imported the first Arabian Stallion into North America in 1725.

During the Crimean War (1851-1854), one Arab horse raced 93 miles without harm, but its rider died from exhaustion

The Quarter Horse

The action of the Arab is unique and distinctive. This breed is characterized by a 'floating' movement, a spring-action movement of utmost ease.

Arabs have associated closely with humans for centuries, and the Arab horse of today enjoys human companionship and learns quickly from its human counterparts.

The Arabian horse is the oldest pure-bred horse in the world.

Gray

Arab horses have three main characteristic colors:

Bay

Chestnut

The most common coat color of Arabians is bay.

After the Greeks were introduced to the Arabian horses, they fashioned a god-like creature called Pegasus-- a winged Arabian horse which occasionally descended to earth from its home on Mt. Olympus.

All Arabian horses have black skin underneath their coats, except underneath any white hair. When these horses lived in the desert, the black skin would help to protect them from the hot sun.

Arabs usually stand 14.1 - 15 hands high.

Arabians can run long distances through hottest deserts in Arabia.

Arabians have a dished face and small muzzle. These characteristics show spirit and elegance in the breed.

Arabians, when running, tend to carry their tails up elegantly as they glide across the surface.
