This breed is famous for its stocky build, heavy muscling, compact appearance, and outstanding speed. The old-fashioned “bulldog” type and the “racing” make the two types of the breed. These horses are solid in color, with limited white markings. The breed evolved when the bloodlines of stallions and mares brought to the New World were mixed. There were many variations of names for this running breed, however, in 1940 a special registry was formed to preserve the breed and it was changed to the name we know today.

In the 16-19th centuries, no particular attention was made to keep short-distance equines as a distinct breed. Thoroughbred blood was widely introduced to the breed. Some high quality males contributed to both breeds. Most mares were bred to Spanish, Arabian, Morgan, or Standardbred stallions. Without a registry and a stud book, it’s impossible to verify the pedigrees of outstanding animals of early times. Without a separate registry, these animals should have been called a type rather than a breed. Nowadays, it’s impossible to give the exact origin of the present-day breed and its bloodlines.
