A wild horse is merely a decendant of a horse that has gotten loose or has gotten loose and has become feral. A quarter horse is a breed of horse that is used in rodeos, ranches, and are ridden western. hope it helps. :)
quarter horses
yes all quarter horses can!
Because unless the wild herd is monitered very closely the wild horses are usually mixed breeds, and although the may be part quarter horse they are probablly not completely purebred if they live in the wild. Also if they are a wild purebred quarter horse it may look different because it may be dirty or cut up.
Paint Quarter horses may live in a stable with other horses as pets and companions. If they are wild they live a group called herds with a bunch of other horses. If they are in herds they may live in Alberta, Virginia, out west and places like that.
Actually, the widest percentile of horses live within ownership of man. Most wild horses are either lost or actually live wild in other countries around the world. Everywhere is different, so horses may have different standards of living in different places.
The same reason dogs look different than wolves. Over many, many years, we have selectively bred horses for specific purposes. Thouroughbreds were bred with long legs, bodies, and to have a huge lung capacity for racing, Quarter horses were selectively bred for quarter mile races and to work cattle, Draft horses (Shire, Belgian) were bred for pulling heavy loads (example: Budwiser horses)
Quarter horses are named that because they can run a Quarter of a mile really fast. They had races in the old days for a quarter of a mile and they would use Quarter horses for them. Now Quarter Horses aren't as popular for racing, because Thoroughbreds have better stamina.
Like people, horses have many different personalities. This does not always depend on what breed it is. People are always saying how big, draft horses are gentle, yet they can be fiery. Same goes with Quarter horses! :)
Quarter horses get their name from the quarter mile races. A quarter horse is energetic enough to gallop a whole quarter of a mile.
Quarter horses originated as an American breed
The Quarter Horse is an American breed so the majority of Quarter horses are in America.
