The ancestors of the modern breed were very strong and undemanding. They were used for the various farm chores like plowing, pulling logs, pulling light carriages and also for pleasure riding. The great versatility of the breed started when it was selectively bred for performing all these tasks. Many farmers took their equines into town for friendly races. The fastest mounts were used for further breeding. As pioneers moved west, they took their cattle with them. It was not easy to control herds, but cowboys managed to cope with it with the help of this versatile and endurable breed. So the breed made another name for itself as the perfect cow pony.
