The American Quarter Horse - NEW ITEM

the horses are used in many different disciplines throughout the world and it is

they are highly valued for their superior athletic abilities, good breeding, calm
dispositions, and intelligence, and are considered outstanding all-around horses.

The horse is popular with ranchers and rodeo competitors and is used in many different disciplines.

Quarter Horse, the history of its evolution, and the ranches that breed these powerful creatures.

The American Paint Horse
"Color is what you first notice about a Paint Horse. Like priceless gems,
these horses come in a dazzling array of hues and patterns. Indeed, 'color'
in a Paint Horse refers not to one but to two characteristics;
the background color of the animal and the pattern created by white markings.
The endless ways Nature works her palette in creating Paint Horses is a
large part of their appeal for no two are alike." To produce this elegant coffee-table
book about the all-American Paint Horse, David Stoecklein teamed up with Darrell Dodds,
editor of the Paint Horse Journal. In addition to the vibrant and artistic photography,
The American Paint Horse includes text by journalist Jennifer Forsberg Meyer,
who narrates the history of these most Western of horses. A perfect gift for horse
lovers, this book displays equine beauty, strength and grace at its finest.
