David McClellan, MD has bred, raised, and even raced horses for
nearly his entire life. He grew up on a horse ranch in Kansas before
moving to another ranch in Oklahoma. After completing his medical
education and training, he moved to yet another horse ranch, this time
near Crosby, Texas, where he lives now. McClellan also founded two
family private practices near Crosby, the Lake Houston Family Practice
and the Trinity Valley Medical Clinic. He is also a former Assistant and
Associate professor at the Baylor College of Medicine.
David McClellan, MD raises both American Quarter Horses and American Paint Horses. Both are bred to exacting standards. Both of these breeds were also bred to sprint short distances. To be an American Paint Horse, the horse has to be bred according to strict regulations imposed by the American Paint Horse Association (APHA). One common distinction that the APHA has to make with modern American Paint Horse breeders like David McClellan, MD is the difference between paint and pinto. While both of these terms were and are used to describe all horses with spotted hides, the difference where the APHA is concerned is with genetics. Pintos have different bloodlines than Paints, which have to have American Quarter Horse, American Paint Horse, or Thoroughbred parents to be considered an American Paint Horse by the APHA.
David McClellan, MD loves his land and his horses and offers breeding and other services to other horse breeders and raisers in the area around Crosby, Texas.
