Why have we chosen to focus on the American Quarter Horse?
Well, a few reasons actually. Number one being the versatility of the breed. As a youngster I grew up with grade horses, one of which was half Quarter Horse. She was my partner for close to twenty years.
Through those years I watched many different breeds of horse in all activities. And many of them had so much talent. They were able to do so many things, from Western Pleasure to Gymkhana and Dressage, the possibilities were endless. But that was with a variety of breeds.
I took Dressage and Hunt Seat lessons on Arabians, Draft crosses, Paint and Thoroughbred crosses, as well as Quarter Horses. Don't get me wrong, each of them were amazing as each of them had their own special talent. And I loved every minute of it.
However, when my husband and I started our Breeding program, we wanted a horse that was versatile. We wanted a breed that could do it all. Thus we chose the American Quarter Horse.
Within our own pasture we have a variety of disciplines and each of them are AQHA registered.
Our Foundation bred gray mare, O'Lena's Fancy Freckle is bred for cutting. But she is gifted at Western Pleasure and shows measurements for producing an English prospect as well.
Our Buckskin mare , In Honor Of, is bred for Cow as well with Hancock and Two Eyed Jack on her papers. We are waiting to see which direction she will tell us is her best; she has proven that she does like to jump but has some serious interest in gathering cattle.
Our Buckskin gelding, The Golden Cruiser is going to simply be outstanding once he is done. He has certainly shown a huge interest in Cows as well as being graceful and athletic enough to do Dressage. Interesting...
These are simply a few of the many reasons we have chosen to raise the American Quarter Horse. When you give them a chance and pay attention to "what they tell you", it is amazing what you can do.
The versatility in each individual horse is just something we did not want to loose. Each of these things should be truly appreciated for what they are - talent. And it is all available in one breed - the American Quarter Horse.
