Way up, Since you asked, I will add this......
Sorry, Allan! I know you will loose all respect for me now. Send me your address and I will send you my $.25.
My first Love was, and still is Big Red Tractors (IH).
My 2nd love was Horses, precisely, Ropeing Horses! I didn't take up Ropeing till my last year of college. Basicly I roped 3 nites a week for 10 years. Got dam good at it. We roped sick cattle on wheat pasture in the fall and winter, on grass pasture in the summer and every Jackpot ,or Ropeing Club Team ropeing that could be found.
So what does this have to do with the subject at hand today....Everything!. THE AMERICAN QUARTER HORSE!!!. Their Hdqts are @ Amarillo,Texas. Just Google it and follow it to thir web site.
Anyway there is no other horse(period) that has the speed ,endurance, stamitna to do what they do. Be it from the Git-go to 1/4 mile or go all day long from before sun up to way after dark.
NOT an Appalossa, Thoroghbred, Arabian, Morgan, Welch, Draft horse of any kind. The Quarter horse is an American Product not Europiean, or South AM., But American.I personally would not buy any horse but a Quarter Horse. Easy temperment.
Typically they ave 14 to 15.5 Hands high. The perfect height for working cattle, ropeing, cutting, pleasure events, Also not so far to fall when you get pile driven into the ground by a green broke colt. The flying can fun ,it is the sudden stop that is the killer. Just be sure to lengthen out your stirups on those broncie colts.
I appoligise for this long rambling but I hope it helps answer your queations.
Later,
John A.

A Lifetime of David Brown Tractors - by Samuel Kennedy. I was born in 1950 and reared on my family�s 100 acre farm. It was a fairly typical Northern Ireland farm where the main enterprise was dairying but some pigs, poultry and sheep were also kept. Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
