The breed was developed in the early 1600s, but the true establishment of the breed we know today took place some time later in the southwest range country. The breed registry and the Stud Book appeared only in the 1940’s. For several centuries, the cowman found these equines endurable, undemanding, easy to handle, quick to start, and of a temperament suitable for handling cattle under a wide variety of conditions. When used for racing, these equines were not raced on carefully prepared tracks but on any suitable open space. Infusion of Thoroughbred blood continued in the southwestern range for a long time. High quality stallions contributed to both breeds. The american horse journal quarter magazine has many photos of the horse and a photo layout available online.
