THE AMERICAN QTR HORSE DRS

The American Quarter Horse by David R. Stoecklein
Some people say the American Quarter Horse is one of the most popular equine breeds. The horses are used in many different disciplines throughout the world and it is the oldest breed in the country. American Quarter Horses were prized in the 1600s for their ability to run short distances at very high speeds, especially the quarter-mile. Today, they are highly valued for their superior athletic abilities, good breeding, calm dispositions, and intelligence, and are considered outstanding all-around horses. The typical American Quarter Horse is somewhat smaller than other breeds, but usually very strong. The horse is popular with ranchers and rodeo competitors and is used in many different disciplines.
This book by photographer David R. Stoecklein is a celebration of the American Quarter Horse, the history of its evolution, and the ranches that breed these powerful creatures.
