Quarter
horses are bred to be sprinters. Their name comes from their ability to
run quarter-mile tracks in incredibly fast times. British colonists bred
quarter horses in colonial Virginia for centuries before their use
spread across the country. In the early 17th century, English colonists
bred their thoroughbreds with horses bred by Native Americans, who had
been breeding horses from Spanish explorers for centuries before. The
result of this new breeding was the Quarter horse, a small, sturdy, fast
horse used for the colonists’ daily work during the week and for racing
on weekends. David McClellan, MD came to Quarter horse breeding long
after horse racing first became popular in the United States. By the
mid-18th century, Quarter horses were an extremely popular breed because
of the new popularity of horse racing. David McClellan MD is only one
of the latest of many horse breeders who have carried on this
centuries-old tradition across the country.
David McClellan, MD offers breeding services on his ranch near Crosby, Texas.
