From the Back Cover
Many great horses have played key roles in the Quarter Horse breed, and this book profiles some of the early day legends - mostly stallions, but also a few mares. Each chapter features a particular horse, and includes a story detailing the horse's life, photographs, a four-generation pedigree, and a summary of the horse's performance record and sire or production record. This book also features a history of the American Quarter Horse Association's early registration policies. It was written by Jim Goodhue, AQHA registrar for 22 years. (8 x 11, 168 pages, b&w photos)

Customer Reviews

Trace the ancestry of your horse
This book provided the ancestry of the horses that started the American Quarterhorse breed. It was fun to take my horses' lineage and be able to trace it all the way back to the original King Ranch horses. I found out why my horse has such hard feet, why she likes to run so much, and found that she is the spitting image of one of her ancestors. I could hear the stories of her great grandsires and great granddams, the lives that they led, the places they lived, their temperaments, their quirks of behavior. I feel that I know my own horse better after seeing where she came from. I highly recommend this and the other volumnes of this series.

Nostalgia and breeding history for quarter horse enthusiats
Quarter horses are more than a hobby. They embody America's romance with western history. Knowing the foresires and dams of our quarter horses brings past and present together. This series on foundation horses is well-researched, without being tedious. Stories illustrating the charactor of these prime horses are lively, engaging, even heart-warming, and short. Those of us who love our AQHA horses must include this in our library.

MUST READ
A must for foundation quarter horse enthusiasts. Gives an understanding of the qualities that made these horses (and their offspring) great.
