The Spanish Mustang has many outstanding characteristics. Foremost is his sensible disposition, agility, alertness, and hardiness. His size (13.3 to 15 hands) and smooth way of traveling are also desirable traits."True" Mustangs, ones with a strong wild background, have high endurance and a herding instict. Mustangs also have very hard hoofs. Mustangs are descended from domesticated horses that escaped, and are a mixture of breeds and types. No particular type is dominant, however, nature prefers those well-suited to their environment to survive. Mustangs that live in colder climates are shaggy and small, and desert mustangs can survive on remarkably small amounts of food and water. Small regional bands often share a type and sometimes a colour because they are often all descended from one stallion who becomes dominant and leads a large band of mares, who breed to him almost exclusively.

What traits will a baby horse have if both parents are quarter horses?

It really depends... If both parents were pure quarter horses then it will have quarter horse traits. It one parent was trotter/quarter horse, it may show trotting characteristics. In other words if one or both parents were not pure quarter horses, the baby can have characteristics from any species of its parents... probably mostly quarter horse though.
