About 2-3 seconds. Its about that many strides, 2-3. They can't go the distance like a Thoroughbred but they are unbeatable for sprints. And they accelerate incrediably fast. They truly are 'nature's race car'.

Why did cowboys prefer Quarter Horses insted of other horses?

The Quarter Horse is the fastest horse in the world, for a quarter of a mile. The Thoroughbred, most often used in horse racing, has more endurance for an entire mile, but still cannot beat the Quarter Horse in a quarter-of-a-mile race. Hence the name 'Quarter Horse'. This is exactly what you want in a horse when you are working cattle - short bursts of extraordinary speed.
