THE AMERICAn QUARTER HORSE
is celebrated as the first breed native to the United States, originally developed by colonists for short match races through narrow streets and across open fields. As settlers moved west, the Quarter Horse proved indispensable—valued for speed, resilience, and the instinct that made it a trusted ranch partner. Bred as true athletes, these horses are trained with the same discipline as top human competitors. Today, racing takes place at more than 100 tracks across North America, but the sport’s crown jewel is Remington Park, where the season runs from March through May. These powerful sprinters can rocket from a standstill to 55 miles per hour in under three seconds—quicker than a Porsche.
