Now in the UK, we don't have Quarter Horses. I always liked the sound of them though, hardy little critters who can go all day at a trot and not tire, brave enough to tackle a steer, and pretty enough to win a show. However, when I started looking on the internet (google and youtube ect) I came across something called Halter.

Now in England, we do have In Hand classes, but they are usually only for youngsters that aren't ready to be ridden, or just for grading horses that are allready proven performers. In these Halter Classes, however, the horse isn't required to be athletic, or even correctly conformed. This is what is seen as normal - [link]

Now I thought QHs were supposed to be pretty speedy over 1/4 of a mile? This hideous creature can barely walk! (See the video on the Bertonqh site)

So I drew what I would have if I had to own a QH. He has an intelligent pony face, foxy ears and small, hard hooves. He has a lot of power in his hocks and through his shoulders and hindquarters - He can collect and extend as well as any dressage horse. He is bold and smart and a pretty Red Dun, to boot. He stands at 14.2hh. All this, and he doesn't look like a hippo!

Anyways, I hope you like my picture, haven't done much finished art recently. Oh, and this is my first time drawing a red dun, hope I got it right! Oh, done in Photoshop, took a couple of hours.
