Overview

In this book on Quarter horses, Denhardt traces the history of the breed from its European origins through the colonial and frontier periods and on to the present. He shows the importance of those Texas stallions of more than a century ago, Steel Dust and Shiloh, in fixing the breed: and he gives credit to the King Ranch for its scientific breeding in recent decades . His book will help any reader to derive more enjoyment from his next Quarter Horse show, cutting context, rodeo, or one of those short races in which the winner goes like a rush telegram over a downhill wire.
