The Quarter Horse The number one horse breed from around the world is the Quarter Horse.

It is thought this breed became popular when the colonists brought their racehorses into the west. One of the most-loved sports during the early years of the United States were the one-quarter mile races, usually run through the streets of the local town or along the country lanes and paths.
