The detail
America’s stock horse, bred to sprint a quarter mile and to work cattle all day. That gives a compact, muscular horse with a quiet mind and quick feet, suited to ranch work, western sports, trails and first-time owners.
What to weigh
Easy keepers put on weight fast, and some bloodlines carry serious inherited diseases. The five-panel genetic test is the single most useful document when buying one.
