American History Horse Quarter
The american history horse quarter can be found in many books with a photo documentation of the developement of the breed by breeders.
Many ranchers or persons interested in short-distance racing have contributed to the development of the breed since the 16th century. Due to lack of a separate registry, not all names are known today. The first really noted breeder and improver of these equines was William Anson of Christoval, Texas. He collected a band of sires and dams of this type and concentrated bloodlines that were useful either in racing or for ranch work. Another noted breeder was W.T. Waggoner of Vernon, Texas. He collected the fastest short-distance species trying to produce the fastest possible foals.

It is difficult to give the exact origin of the breed as we have it at present. The blending of bloodlines in order to produce a suitable short-distance runner was started prior to the Revolutionary War. This is considered the first breed native to the United States. The foundation stock of the breed originated from Arab, Turk, and Barb breeds. The breeding program resulted in a compact, heavily muscled animal which is beautiful, gentle-mannered, and extremely fast. These horses were raced by colonists as early as the late 1600s.
