Quarter Horses are an entirely man made breed and any adaptions they have have been bred into them by humans over the years. The specific traits that were bred into the Quarter Horse include: Large hindquarters to aid in sprinting, heavy muscling to aid in heavy cattle work, a generally quiet temperament, the ability to sprint a quarter mile quickly,and a natural inclination towards working cattle.
