The history of Quartma
The history of quartemas began in the early 16s, when British colonists imported their stallions of Hobby and Galloway strains produced in Ireland and Scotland, and crossed them with local mares of Chickasaw Indians in the United States. Those imported horses are famous for their fast speed and small size and compactness.
the most famous horse introduced into foreign blood belongs to Anoos, the grandson of Godfrey Arabia (one of the three ancestors of thoroughbred horses). He was born in England in 1746, bred by Anthony Langley Swimmer, and introduced to Virginia in 1752 by Mordecai Booth. In the "American Horse Racing Registration, Athletes' Notification and General Register" published in 1833, it was described as follows: Anoos, a chestnut horse, is about 14 palms and 3/4 inches high, with excellent bones and muscles, round shape, very compact, large hindquarters and extremely fast speed, and almost all its descendants are "fast straddle ponies".
These colonial settlers often amuse themselves by holding horse races. Because the main street in their town is generally an uneven straight road, this is the place where the horse race is held. And its main streets are short, often a quarter mile or less. These settlers cultivate short-distance horse racing. Horse racing is required to start fast and keep explosive in short distance. These horses are good at short-distance races, so they have become "famous quarter-mile races".
since long-distance horse racing has been established in the eastern part of the United States, a quarter of the horse racing has moved to the west with the promoters. Quart horses are a main kind of service horses, and their owners are also ordinary people. They occupy a small position in the intoxicating world of thoroughbred horse racing. Western settlers crossed their horses with Spanish mares in this area. These Spanish horses have long been famous for their hard work, perseverance, unparalleled cattle herding characteristics and endurance. The offspring horses produced by this hybrid have compact appearance and heavy muscles, heavy weight, fast speed and the characteristics of their matriarchal line. "Steel Dust" was one of the first local stallions that had the greatest influence on this breed. This stallion was born in Kentucky and was bought in Texas by Middleton Perry and Jones Greene (two farmers in Illinois) in 1844. This horse is described as "a fast horse with a big jaw, a short back and a short distance, with a height of 15 palms and a weight of 12 pounds". In its time, the horse had no rival. When the horse was 12 years old, it won the quarter-mile race, surpassing the second horse (a younger imported horse from Kentucky named Monmouth) by three horses. Another influential horse is Copper Bottom, which was imported to Texas by Sam Houston, and a horse named Shiloh, which was a horse in the same period of metallurgical dust.
Just as the pasture has gradually grown and become important, the Quart Horse has become a fixed breed in the west. For example, the famous American "King Ranch" began to choose breeding cattle, because raising cattle has more commercial interests, and at the same time began to improve the quality of its horses. Unfortunately, they only pay attention to the speed performance of the quart horse, but not to the pedigree and pedigree, which leads to the confusion of pedigree and pedigree. It was only after the early 199s that attention was paid to tracing the origin of the quatemar.
the most famous stallions in 193s are old sorrel, little Joe, Joe hanock, midnight and Joe Bailey, which can be traced back to Peter McCue, Traveler, Billy and Shiloh, and these horses can be traced back to "Steel Dust", Sir Archy and Anoos. Due to the hard work of Robert Denhardt (an energetic horse lover, writer, researcher and scholar) in studying these lineages, the American Quartmar Association was established in 194. The first registered horse was Wimpy, and it was registered in the breed register as P-1. Quart horse is the most popular horse breed in America. At present, more than 3 million horses have been registered, and the American Quart Horse Association is the largest horse breed registration organization in the world. This breed of horse is famous for its strong physique, heavy muscles and compact appearance. Quartz horses can be divided into two different types: (1) the old-fashioned type, that is, the horn dog type (which is the foundation of Quartz horses); (2) Horse racing type, which is more like a thoroughbred horse with well-developed muscles. Quartma is 14-16 palms tall. Generally, the coat color is monochrome, among which chestnut hair is the majority, and there are few white seals.
Quartma has a short and wide head, a short muzzle, small ears, large nostrils, wide eye spacing and a wide and well-defined jaw. The neck is plump, of medium length, and the neck ridge is thin. ? The nail is of medium height, well defined, well combined with deep and inclined shoulders, short and plump back, strong when passing through the kidney, and the lower abdomen line rises neatly to the ankle.
the chest is deep and the ribs are well raised. The forelimbs are powerful, the limbs are slightly wider, the chest is deep and wide, and the muscles on both sides of the hind limbs are plump. The hind knee is very deep, and the hindquarters are heavy and muscular. The tubular bone is short, the department is of medium length, the hock joint distance is wide, deep and straight, and the hoof is round with a deep and open heel. There used to be a dangerous tendency to be proud of "a horse with thick muscles and small hooves" Happily, the idea of this tendency has disappeared.
a quart horse is a very fast horse, with a sense of balance and agility. When starting, the speed is fast; Be good at sharp turns. Cool-headed, kind and steady.
is the favorite horse of Americans and cowboys.
