This breed appeared in America in the 1600s, and the first race was held in 1674 at Enrico County, Virginia. These animals have a strikingly muscular body and great stamina, enabling them to withstand considerable physical strains and develop high speed. In the year 1940, the AQHA was established, and soon after, the breed standard was drafted. In keeping with the goal of constant improvement, specialists conduct research of the breed and do their best to exclude the possibility of infiltration of the breed by faulty or unhealthy species.
