What are semi quarter horse bars?
Saddles that have 'full quarter horse bars' were developed especially for stock type horses such as the Quarter Horse. Stock type horses tend to have wider backs around the withers. Sometimes called 'mutton withers', these backs need a wider saddle for a proper fit. So the bars (the front part of the saddle that sits on either side of the withers) were widen. A saddle with semi quarter horse bars are slightly narrower than a full quarter bar. In the same way shoe sizes come in full and half measurements, semi quarter bars make for a better fit since every horse's back and withers can be different.
Has a quarter horse ever been in Kentucky Derby?
No solid numbers tell the exact population. However, we can get a rough estimate by looking at the general horse population of Kentucky and the percentage of horses in the US that are quarter horses. According to a 2005 equine census, Kentucky was home to 320,173 horses. 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.
Which is a better trail horse a quarter horse or a thorough bred?
On the whole most people would answer the quaterhorse, primarily because Thoroughbreds have a reputation for being reactive and high strung. However, Thoroughbreds can and do make excellent trail mounts as do many Quarter horses. One of the potentially limiting factors for trailriding is height. Height is not an issue in open country but a large horse may be a disadvantage in mountainous, wooded terrain. Since there are smaller horses of every breed the buyer needs to determine what horse will work best for their particular needs.
