LEGENDS:OUTSTANDING QUARTER HORSE STALLIONS AND MARES

THIS IS THE FIRST OF THE LEGENDS SERIES THAT I PURCHASED. IT IS EXCELLENT! I HAVE COLLECTED ALL OF THE LEGEND BOOKS AVAILABLE AND LOOK FORWARD TO NEW ONES. ALL VERY USEFUL INFORMATION AND MAKES FOR SOME GREAT CONVERSATIONS WITH OTHERS WHO HAVE BEEN AROUND THE QUARTER HORSE SINCE THE BEGINNING OF AQHA.

Trace the ancestry of your horse

This book provided the ancestry of the horses that started the American Quarterhorse breed. It was fun to take my horses' lineage and be able to trace it all the way back to the original King Ranch horses. I found out why my horse has such hard feet, why she likes to run so much, and found that she is the spitting image of one of her ancestors. I could hear the stories of her great grandsires and great granddams, the lives that they led, the places they lived, their temperaments, their quirks of behavior. I feel that I know my own horse better after seeing where she came from. I highly recommend this and the other volumnes of this series.

MUST READ

A must for foundation quarter horse enthusiasts. Gives an understanding of the qualities that made these horses (and their offspring) great.

Excellet, perfect for the blood line enthusiast

The book is very informative, and if you're like me, you love Quarter Horse bloodlines. I hope they keep coming out with these books. Keep up the good work

Excellent and informative!

This is an excellent and very informative book about our foundation quarter horse stock. I was able to trace my horse's lineage back to several of these wonderful stallons!
