QUARTER HORSE RACING

As their name suggests, Quarter Horses are unbeatable at distances up to a quarter of a mile. Races aare over in the twinkling of an eye as horses and jockeys lightning-bolt down the track.



The All-American Futurity

The All-American Futurity at Ruidoso Downs, New Mexico is one of the world's richest horse race, offering a purse in excess of one million dollars.

Cajun Racing

In far less formal settings, Quarter Horse meets are regularly held in the heart of Louisiana's Cajun country, where interest in the outcome is equally as enthusiastic as that at more formal race meets.


To learn more about one of the nation's premier breeders of racing Quarter Horses, visit a special exhibit, The Four Sixes Ranch, provided by the American Quarter Horse Heritage Center and Museum. For even more information, drop by the American Quarter Horse Association's home page.
