When you are looking for the true quarter horse stick to the foundation bred stock.... That is one registry that is a stickler and they have to be foundation bred. In my opinion that is where you will find the best bull-dog quarter still around, that goes back to the old lines, not the running quarter (racing quarter as some call it) of today. When I worked brand inspection and the stock yards I watched someone that had a running quarter get pushed all through the chutes by the stock, bring in a bull-dog quarter and you will not see that happen. Yes, bull-dog quarters are big and stocky, but they can turn and spin on a dime. They are the true working horse and I would not have anything else.

They have changed them a lot. Making them taller with those long legs. I bet you those tall ones cant do reining or cow cutting as fast as the ole stocky Quarter Horse. _Evy Wyman_ (http://www.wymankennel.com/) **************It's Tax Time!
