The Spanish imported horses and longhorn cattle into Mexico. The vaquero cowboys from Mexico were expert horsemen and cattlemen. Some of their horses escaped and formed herds that roamed across the great plains. When these mustangs were bred with the colonial quarter horse the result was a very compact, quick, agile horse with a natural instinct for herding longhorns.Dan Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02552898424225163279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2245060782659121423.post-46139087219571943862013-04-19T22:53:51.381-06:002013-04-19T22:53:51.381-06:00I didn't realise Quarter Horse was because the...I didn't realise Quarter Horse was because they raced over the quarter mile.
