I currently own a stud that is a great reining horse, built small and low to the ground, but like any breeder you search for traits in both mare and stud that you want in the next generation. So when I breed a mare to my stud, I start looking for one that is a little larger in frame, and a little more stockier muscularly. The breed has become so big in number's, you really don't need to look outside of the breed to find traits to improve upon the breed, you simply look at different traits that are more prominant in particular horses and breed them.

The took different horses and bred them for specific traits that would give them the best advantage in the race (ie: stockier shorter body, barrel chest, thick muscular back legs and rump). This way they can start off from a dead run and top speed, which is what they needed to win the quarter race, because they don't have precious seconds that they can take to build up their speed like thoroughbreds have in much longer races. Which is also why quarter horses are now so greatly associated with western events (ie: cutting, working cow, barrel racing, reining, roping etc.). All the events mentioned, are ones that require a horse that can turn, spin, rapidly change their direction, all at staying at their top speed. Most the time, using a thoroughbred for such events would be almost impossible, simply because their just too tall, and lanky.

Her bloodlines are the Sea Line breeding - all TB. Actually she is 5/8 TB and only 3/8 AQHA. She was trained to race, but never actually on the track. Was she bred to race as a sprinter or the long tracks? I have a Appendix QH built like a TB. Her bloodlines are the Sea Line breeding – all TB. Actually she is 5/8 TB and only 3/8 AQHA.
