A 1998 poll (apologies for not being able to find anything more recent) found quarter horses make up 39.5% of the US horse population. therefore our rough estimate for number of quarter horses in KY are 320173 * .395 = 126,468.
Where did the quarter horse originate at?
The quarter horse was first bred in the United States. The eastern colonists breed Thoroughbreds with the native breeds to make "Quarter Mile Horses" (bred to race 1/4 mile). These "Quarter Mile Horses" were bred with other native horses that had "cow sense" as the colonists expanded west. Although this quick breed with cow sense started to really hold its own name in the mid 1800s, the American Quarter Horse Association (and the breed registry it runs) wasn't founded until 1940.
Which breed of horse is a good steeplechase horse and good in a harness?
The best breed of steeplechase horse would be between a Quarter Horse and a Thoroughbred. A Quarter Horse is so named because it can outrun any other horse in a quarter mile race... even a Thoroughbred. However, a Thoroughbred is more like a train, while not super fast as first, its speed will build and build until he leaves all others behind. The call on which breed to buy is yours to make. As far as the best harness horse, that depends. All draft horses do well with harnesses. Some examples are Clydesdales (the "Budweiser" horses, as they're sometimes called) Friesians, and Percherons. These horses can also be ridden under saddle. If you're wanting to pull a smaller carriage, Walking horses and Quarter horses would be the best choice.
