Gorgeous horse's thank you for sharing.

1940 just before the war thank you for sharing all the beautiful horses ❤

Peppy was a great sire❤

I had a filly named Peppy Ann 💜

My name is Kathy Moore and I was leading jockey in the state of Washington won many quarter horse races ❤

This is very cool and I love seeing old films it’s so nostalgic and soothing

No leo bred horses ? Great video !

"We didn't know how to dally anything in 1940," gotta love BF Yeates!

Can u imagine the significance of how prolific some of these old horse's were. Leading a horse 25 miles to deliver a horse. Any questions as to the relability of old pedigree

The background music is to liud and annoying

Bom dia eu tive o prazer de estar com cavalos desta época e tenho muita saudades de todos

Thanks for this wonderful find. Awesome piece of history. Priceless. J

2 & 3 looked like they were hurting on the back end. Don't agree with this assessment. 1,4,3,2

She needs at least 1.5%-2% not 1% so technically she needs 17lbs a day of forage

👍

Haven’t heard the word “billfold” in YEARS😂!!! I just loved this film♥️‼️my mare was Dandy Flit Bar , a beautiful sorrel mare, kind, smart, and the best horse ever!!! sigh… miss these days of youth and good horses to ride and play on!!!♥️🙋‍♀️🥰 grateful!

What a pleasure- thank you for sharing 😊

I picked 4 for 1st , well Stuff Me Stubbie I had better get a good price on 4 then .

10:48 Amazing to see Afrikander cattle in Texas, this breed originates from South Africa.

I did 3214. As in 4-h i judge basically professionally 3 is deep and gorgeous in the heart girth area. And shorter in his middle third area. He had straighter knees in front profile.3 also had wayy better balance and more structure. He also looked like he had more muscle in him. 1 has more set to hocks but sadly is long again in third middle quarter. 1 and his coarse head.2 had great muscling. He also is shorter from his eye to his muzzle and more of a different face. He also defined in the muscle pattern that there is. 4 is just a no he has a chiseled jaw and bright eyed lending to more gelding appearance. So that why 3214

This is terrific. I’ve got a 25 yr QH sorrel with Hollywood Gold linage. Thanks for posting.

This film is a national treasure!

my placings are 2-1-3-4. I placed 2 over 1 because 2 is shorter and has more muscle. I placed 3 over 4 because 3 also has more muscle but is to short for my liking. 4 legs are very unstraight and has barely any muscle

This entire thing was CRINGE.. it should be illegal to breed animals in a fashion that’s an anatomical disservice to their overall soundness. If these animals would be put to real work and/ or judged by their physical ABILITIES they’d all lose. If I had to attempt to ride any of them it’d be 4 bc at least homeboy has more natural hindquarter collection than the horses before him.. and that’s even hard to say given 4 is mad under muscled overall. However, his natural WORKING potential would cream the other horses if he had actual muscle to work with. The “standards” in this form of “competition” are just unconscionable..

Thank you for posting this; the earlier and ranching/working horses are admired as well by many who do not have involvement in the breed.

So many of them with saddle sore....🧐

Excellent movie on Quarter Horses . Loved the commentary thank you so much. I owned and loved a beautiful chestnut grand son of Doc Bar this is awsome seeing this.

A lot of white spots on those withers back then. More horses had them than not. Makes you wonder why the horses were broncier back then..... Horsemanship has come a long long way since then. Like every sport we evolve. Old cowboy told me once that they didn't have time to play with horses with their pinky fingers back then they had a job to do and get it done now.

I wish they still looked this nice and weren't "specialized" into different types. A good horse is good all around. Modern stock horses are rarely good, even for one sport.

The horses are amazing, but some of the handlers stink...🙄😬☹

Bill and Southern George were the quarter horse contributors from Eagle Pass

What a great find ! Very interesting, great narration and beautiful horses 🐎

Yes this needs to be digital. Best documentary on past horses

I prefer the old original quarter horses. The breed has sadly evolved into something unrecognizable to me. I remember in the 1960s and 70s when you went to a quarter horse show you used the same horse for each event you competed in. I recall competing in the morning English events then by noon I’d be pulling out the braids and gearing up for the western classes with the same horse in the afternoon.

Some have straight legs and big feet---good. But so many long backs? (a long back is a weak back.)

I love that. Thank you for putting it together. I was laughed when I was a kid and said I wanted to trace my mares bloodlines, I got as far as Whimpy 1. When I was old enough I purchased my mares full sister in foal to a docs Hollywood son, and trace back to Hollywood gold and doc bar... I would love to learn more. Nothing like a quarter horse.

Beautiful so nice to see where my boys originated from. Peppy was beautiful.. pity they all have Pssm1 now. Things have definitely got worse over the years.

The filmmaker wouldn't recognize the modern quarter horse, a beast more suited to pulling a middlebuster than wearing a saddle.

Mom was born in 24 she said that the quarter horse had draft horse bloodlines behind them. She also said that that they were based on the fact they needed to run and cut cows. Also that they wanted a fast horse that needed to carry it's speed a quarter of a mile.

What a priceless gem. The footage of The Old Clegg Sorrel alone, absolutely floors me! There are only about two pictures of him that you see. He looks so dark in the film, you can really see his Thoroughbred lineage. All of these horses would stand today as horses horsemen would be proud to ride. Thank you so much for posting. What a bunch of important horses and breeders. To see Joe Hancock, and Roan Hancock, Little Joe Jr, and Del Rio Joe, Hollywood Gold and Golden Chief, it is a dream come true. Redman and Chicaro Bill! So exciting, too to see Ott Adams and Helen Michaelis. Peppy, Wimpy, and all of that great footage of the King Ranch. I want to share it with someone. I'd never seen a picture of John Dial.

I had a binion mare you good see the thoroughbred in her personally I’ve always preferred what I know as a cow horse shorter frame thicker front barb Joel nice foundation on these horses my first introduction to quarter horses was late sixties I went with a friend to purchase a horse in High River Alberta they where about thirty miles out now it’s all paved roads we truly lost something

The actual working ranch horses still look like that .. a few more blondes.

It is amazing the standard that was set to these horses. #2 and 3 will be useless in the hindquarters. Horses should be sound first over fluffiness.. I agree that 2 and 3 are beautiful horses, but if you were to ride these two, they would go down soon. Few people breed for ornaments, and if ridden with the hindquarter weakness, they are bound for the kill pens. So, lets practice breeding sound horses judges!!! Stop following the crowd. Not many people want a horse for an ornament. None of these horses are ideal. None track correctly. I place 1, 4, 3 and 2..

2&3 do not have desirable structure.

3 is a hot mess and 2 is so fine boned he can barely hobble along.

2 3 1 & 4

Toward the end of this film, finally a few horses mentioned in Arizona, not only Texas were instrumental in the foundation AQHA bloodlines. Great old film here. Thanks

Good stuff. And thank you.

I think 3 is the worst one - very heavy fronted with a small head and not balanced I’m not too impressed with 1 either - 2 seemed like the most proportionate and balanced And 4 would have looked better if they had brushed the horse down - but it definitely was still not as balanced as 2 . So I think my order would have been 2,4,1,3 or 4,2,1,3

That was beautiful wonderful to watch thank you
