quarter horses.
Horse Power!
Quarter horses were originally bred in the United States in an attempt to develop a breed that would 
maintain a fast speed in quarter-mile races. The first record of a quarter-mile horse race is from 1674 in 
Virginia. Quarter-mile racing soon became a popular spectator sport, and a large amount of prize money 
was added in for the winners. Interest in the development of quarter horses took off!
As colonial Americans moved west, so did quarter horses. The pioneers found entirely different uses 
for the breed. With their explosive speed, good temperament, strength, and intelligence, quarter horses 
became a favorite for use in herding cattle. The horses were used for simpler tasks as well, such as simply 
getting from one place to another as quickly as possible.
Today, the quarter horse is still one of the most popular breeds of horses. The breed has retained its 
tame personality, strong structure, cow sense, and speed. The horses are still used on cattle ranches and 
have also become the main choice of rodeo competitors. Along with these specialized uses, the quarter 
horse is an excellent everyday pleasure horse for both children and adults. Quarter horses have even 
become film stars. In 1991, the American Quarter Horse Association began giving out the Silver Spur 
Award, which is the equine version of an Academy Award. This award has been presented only a few 
times to those horses with a record of outstanding performances in movies.
