The general height for American quarter horses is 14-16 hands. This varies on lineage and the style of quarter horse. The stock quarter horses are generally shorter. Where the running quarter horse is built lighter and taller, more along the lines of a thoroughbred.

A quarter horse is one that is registered with the American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA) or other similar registries (Australian Quarter Horse Association, for example), as having two registered quarter horse parents. The AQHA recognizes the offsrping of a quarter horse and a Thoroughbred (registered with the Jockey Club) by registering them in their "Appendix" registry.
