You had to Google this? Weren’t there like 10,000 American mates you could have asked? Forgive my amusement, but imagine if an American posted “Someone told me Shetland ponies were the size of rabbits. I googled this and it’s not true!”
Quarter horses are the working horse of choice in the American west. They are smart, fast over short distances (which makes them great for roping and herding cattle), agile (for a horse – great barrel racers), and hardy. Not so pretty as Thoroughbreds, or Arabians (natch), but less delicate and usually cheaper (though a first-rate QH can easily be more expensive than a run-of-the-mill or over-the-hill TB).
