Best Answer

The Quarter horse excels in sprinting short distances. The American Quarter Horse earned it's name from competing against other breeds of horses in the quarter mile race. The compact body of the American Quarter Horse is well-suited to the intricate and speedy maneuvers required in reining, cutting, working cow horse, barrel racing, calf roping, and other western riding events, especially those involving live cattle.
