If its a purebred Paint and a Purebred QH, you should be able to register it with both associations.

Hope this helps.

The "quarter" portion of the name (I hope the "horse" part is obvious) comes from the fact that they were specifically bred to have good performance in a run of a quarter of a mile: they're essentially the "sprinters" of horses (for comparison, the Kentucky Derby is five times that distance).

Phar Lap was a pure bred Thoroughbred gelding from Australia and New Zealand. He did not have any Quarter Horse breeding in him whatsoever. Though, many Quarter Horses have Thoroughbred in the lineage.

Phar Lap was a tall, athletic, chestnut race horse that had a very large heart and great courage.

The name "Quarter Horse" came from the fact that Quarter Horses can outrun a Thoughbred over a quarter of a mile. The QH(Quarter Horse) is a better sprinter but the Throughbred has more stamina for a longer distance.

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.

CHARACTERISTICS This breed is well-known for it's stocky build, heavy muscling and compact appearance. There are two distinct types of Quarter Horses -- the old-fashioned "bulldog" type (the Foundation Quarter Horses) and the "racing Quarter", which looks more like a well-muscled Thoroughbred. They range in size from 14 to 16 hands. They are solid in color, with limited white markings. The Quarter Horse head is short and wide; with a short muzzle; small ears; large nostrils; wide-set eyes; and jawbones that are set wide apart and well-defined. The neck is full and medium length with a slight crest. The withers are medium high and well-defined, combining with deep sloping shoulders; the back is short, full and powerful across the kidneys; and, the underline should rise cleanly to the flank. The barrel is deep with well-sprung ribs. Forelegs are powerful and set wide in a deep, broad chest; and, the hind legs are muscled inside and out. The stifle is very deep and hind quarters are heavy and muscular. Cannons are short, pasterns are medium length, hocks are set wide, deep and straight, and hooves are well-rounded, with deep open heels. There has been an alarming trend toward "vanity-breeding" heavily muscled horses with small feet. Fortunately, this trend seems to be diminishing. Quarter horses are quick, balanced and agile They are collected in action and stand at ease with their legs well under them. They are evel-headed, kind, surefooted and steady.

No, Thoroughbreds come from Turks, Barbs and various Arabian sires and dams. The British had founded the breed as a hybrid of other fast breeds. The Thoroughbred racing industry in North America only allows 100% Thoroughbred bloodlines, parentage assured by DNA testing and registration. Quarter Horse racing is a separate industry. == ==

No it can't have any QH blood to run on the JC track. An Appendix QH can run with AQHA if registered though.

The palomino coat color is both popular and rare, so a palomino Quarter horse will tend to be more expensive than a non-palomino Quarter horse. However, the actual price will vary dramatically depending upon the age, training, experience and health of the horse as well as the exact color of the palomino coat.

Quarter horses are so called because of their speed at sprinting (galloping) a quarter-mile. Some say that the name comes from the hefty hind-quarters of the horse; others say that the breed is one-quarter each of four other breeds, including the Thoroughbred.

Nonetheless, it is the quarter-mile speed which gives the quarter horse its name.

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.

This is not a simple question to answer as it spread out over 825,000 acres, that's 1289 square miles of Southern Texas. I believe the original Location started out in Santa Gertrudis Creek, but the main body of operations is in Kingsville. I will give a couple of locations that should be of interest and at the bottom of the page I will add a link with some interesting facts about King Ranch Quarter Horses and the Land.

The history of the Quarter horse: In 1604, the first pilgrims brought what many people believe to be the early stock for Thoroughbreds (Arabian and Spanish based stock) to the Virginia settlements. An interest in horse racing rose among the settlers and they found out that the new horse breed were the chosen mount. At only 14 hands, they weren't as tall but fast, capable of racing the quarter mile tracks. Some historians believe that more Spanish and Irish part breeds (known today as Irish Hunters) added height. The result was a taller animal (14.2-16hh) that was capable of working on small farms, being a sure-footed trail mount and a fast horse.

Today's horse is 14-16 hh and can be any color but most commonly bay and chestnut. They are an all-purpose horse that competes in western events, trail riding and for appendix quarter horses, steeple-chasing and racing the quarter mile.

This is all a matter of preference.

A Quarter horse will (as a general rule) be calmer and better for western events than an Arabian, simply because a quarter horse has been bred for western events and has the perfect conformation for it.

Arabians will be higher-spirited (again, as a general rule- there are a few calm Arabians. But most are really "hot" and energetic, super sensitive and can be hard to handle for inexperienced riders). They aren't built much for western events, but they can be ridden western. Tommy Garland trains Arabians for western events actually. But most Arabians are used for English events.

Both breeds can be used in either western or English. Both are very intelligent (as a general rule). The main difference is the Arabian is a hot-blood breed, making them more quick-tempered and high-spirited, while the Quarter horse is a warm-blood breed, making them calmer, and the quarter horse is known for being easy-going.

Also, the Quarter Horse was bred for western needs. The Arabian was bred in the desert for endurance and beauty, so this influences their uses. Both are good breeds.

Neither is better than the other if you look at it in a non-biased way. If you want a nice calm horse or you wanted to ride western, you'd probably go for a quarter horse. If you wanted more of a challenge to handle, you'd look for an Arabian, so it depends on what you want in a horse that will decide which breed is best for you.

Although no two horses are the same, and their personalities can vary widely, Quarter Horses tend to be reserved and laid back. They are good for cow ponies, but are often low on the list in comparison to other breeds concerning their interaction with their riders and their willingness to work. The Quarter Horses I've known have been defensive, and difficult to work with, although a few have been mildly even-tempered and good mounts.
