  This book tells the story of America's fastest and most popular breed, traditionally the racehorse and the ranch horse of the west. The author explains the origins of the breed, named for its extraordinary speed over a quarter of a mile, and the setting up of the American Quarter Horse Association: the history of the breed in Britain is covered and the horses and people who have influenced its popularity are introduced.
