The Quarter Horse
He Stimulates Our Imagination
And Commands our Adpirati0n
By LOLA KL4UE
By LOLA KLAUE

EVEN IN THIS enlightened age
a surprising number Of people ask,
''What is a Quarter horse?" So it
might be we'll to begin with little
explanation.
AS breed with long established
blood lines, the Quarter horse is as
old as our country, though the reg
istry and stud book is comparatively
new. But characteristics Of the
Quarter horse are definite and out
standing.
To recognize the breed, look first
to the head for small, alert fox-ears,
large eyes well out from the head
and wide apart and a short, straight
muzzle with a good under-slope
forming sharp angle to his round,
full jowls, one of his most distinc-
tive features His neck is straight
but not ewed-and slightly raised,
well set on at the poll and deep at
his strongly muscled, sloping shoul-
ders that carry enough wither to
hold the saddle where it belongs.
His legs show markedly short
i cannon bones in front and behind,
medium pasterns and hard, we'll
shaped feet His forearms are long
and straight with prominent muscles
on the outside, and set wide enough
for a good sturdy balance. The back
is short, with hip-line deep, and
heavily muscled on down, with the
gaskin both inside and out showing
noticeable muscular development,
tying into the hook. His chest must
be wide and deep and his girth show
plenty of heart and lung room.
Disposition Bred In
Disposition has been bred into the
Quarter horse because, from colonial
times up until the present stud book
originated, he has been bred from
horses known for their performance.
Only the most intelligent and out
standing individuals who had made
records. for themselves in racing
arena and stock work were used to
perpetuate the breed. It is to be
hoped that the stud book and pedi-
grees on paper will not weaken this
great advantage by mass production
of untried mares trading only or
the reflected glory of their sires.
The name Quarter horse is de,
rived from the early-day practice o.
/! Sunday racing or short racing
Wherever men gathered in those
i days they had with them their means
4 of transportation, their horse. Anc
4 it took little provocation to find twc
horses matched for a race on th'
spot.
The country was rugged, the road
rough and winding, SO quarter o

left some good colts in Montana.
One of them, Biscay, who takes his
share of ribbons up Harlem way,
we will vouch for. He is the sire
of our own Ell Cobar.
When Gustafson held his dispersal
sale, his horses were scattered pretty
well over the state. A goodly portion
were bought by Raul Haven of Butte
for the Haven and Croonquist ranch
at Deer Lodge. One of the best of
these, in our opinion, was Duchess
Gal, by Gold Crevice. Most of these
mares had colts by Chubby Chu,
another Gustafson importation.
Later, Gustafson went down to
Oklahoma and bought Zantonon Jr.,
one of the top stations sired by
Zantonon, known as the Man o.
War" of Mexico, who was sold into
Mexico and after a decade of win
ming there was brought back into
the U. S. to sire many of our present
track record-holders. Les Jasmann
stands both Zantonon Jr. and Copper
Nick at his ranch at Cameron.
Gustafson now has Calculator,
KingWood colt, and Alley Boy, Fly
ing Bob colt, to cross with his Zan-
tonen blood.
"A Big-Time Winner
You can't name Quarter horse
breeders and leave out Spike Van
Cleve of Big Timber and his Chiefs
Big Pete, a line-back dun streak of
speed raised by the Bateman ranch
of Knox City, Texas. He is sired
by Chief No. 5, by the great horse
Peter McCue. This horse won in
big time competition in racing, cut
ting and roping in Texas from a
yearling on, and was judged cham
pion racing stallion at his first show
ing as a 5-year-old in Montana dur
ing the Northern Quarter Breeders
show and race meet at Bozeman.
Irve Trebesch of Dutton usually
brings back a good one from the
Denver livestock show-one was one
of the most beautiful of Quarter
stations, Sheik McCue, a palominc
of distinction by The Sheik, BY
Peter McCue. We could be a trifle
prejudiced, Of course, since he is the
sire of our own filly, Colleen McCue
But he has proved himself in com
petition both as a Palomino and
Quarter horse.
R. B. Fraser of Billings, who has
owned, bred and shown probably
more horses than any man in Mon.
tana now living, need not take Z
back seat in Quarter circles with
his two good horses, Little Bulgel
and Buff Buck.
Doug and Nancy Dear Of Simms
who hold their own annual sale eacl
spring, have two new stations t,
follow their old horse, Turk McCue
Sutherland's Red Rascal is doubl,
bred to Bert p 227 out of Bonni,
Parker, noted short race mare il
Oklahoma and Texas. The other nev
stallion, Dummy Moore Dear, wa
sired by Dummy D and out of FLYNN
Lou, both Oklahoma owned horse:
The Dears also have purchased sew
eral fillies and mares of Old Ber
bloodlines, as they favor this strai
of quarter horses.
This is Of necessity only a brie
resume of Montana Quarter horse.
There are many more some just a
good, no doubt-that we have neve

as could usually be found suitable
for use as race track. Too, that
distance was best suited to the small
utility horse most often used. From
the slogan, sI'll race you for quar-
ter it was an easy step to, give
little Quarter horse that can beat
yours"
In ancestry, the Quarter horse goes
back to good" horses of various
breeds: Justin Morgan, founder of
the Morgan breed, was a true Quar-
ter horse in every sense of the word.
There is no known record that he
was ever beaten for a quarter Of
mile, and he was raced until he was
80 years of age.
Much Thoroughbred Blood
Much of his blood was crossed
with the Thoroughbreds brought into
the States in the 10Th century. The
Quarter horse carries a preponder-
ance of Thoroughbred blood, though
he must keep his own identity or
he will not produce that first rush
of terrific speed that sets him apart.
Such Thoroughbred sires as Steel
dust, Sir Archy, Copper Bottom, Dan
Tucker and Traveller laid the foun-
dation for names that followed, such
as Joe Blain, Peter McCue and Old
Joe Bailey of our own day. From
these prolific and now famous sires
we have SO many good ones that
naming them would take more than
an issue of this magazine.
In Montana alone we can list only
few and ask pardon of those men
;. who owned the good horses we are
bound to miss.

that the popular family Pastor,
the Rev, Owens of Boston was
unable to reach Medford. Shiloh
Pastor Phillips had sacrificed his
holiday vacation and Just hap

December elections for 1852, Mr..
George w. Edmonson, one of the
founders of the sponsoring West
Medford Community Club, was
named president to succeed Mrs.

including its Headworker, Mr..
Keith collins, for the first time
in years, the program calls for
continued cooperation of the
women's auxiliary as 1t has in
the past. Unity is the key word
for 1852.
The 1852 Church Sunday
School roster has Mr.. Walter
Tucker as Superintendent; Bev-
erly Phillips, secretary; Martha

Byrd, Deacon Charles Booker,
and there are three new Board
candidates, Brothers Alexander
Henderson, Walter Isaacs, and
Arthur Lassiter who is now with
the Army in Germany. Pastor
Phillips will begin his second

sisted by william Connor and
Percel Aston in the department
of Christian Education. Others
WI be added to this staff. The
Director of Church Music who
has worked so loyal and long, is
Mr.. Fred Wright. Next week we

The w. Medford Girls Chorus
under Mrs Adele M. Evans,
made a big hit on the WEEI
Radio Dec. 22nd Christmas Car
OILS program, sponsored by the
Boston & Maine r. r. from No
Station. This is the second year
in a row the girls have featured
the program and the rumor is
now that the Chorus may be in
vited to sing on a Boston Tele-
vision program sometime during
1852. Also, the Chorus may get
a bid to sing this year in Wash
ington, D. G. all expenses paid.
1t will be a reward well-earned
and we wish the girls the best
of luck.

Crisis In Armed
Forces Blood
Supply Cited

WASHINGTON, D. c. The
surprise with which the Korean
war broke upon us has been no
more seriously felt than in the
matter of vital blood supplies for
the Armed Forces. with no time
to call upon the American public
for immediate blood donations. it
was necessary to dig into reserves
built up since World War II in
order to meet needs at the front.
Current Armed Forces needs
call for 100000 pints of whole
blood a month. Although blood
donation figures have been rising
steadily the last few months, ad-
ministrative personnel here point
out we are still far short of over
all minimum quotas. Deficits are
still being made up from the
aforementioned reserves. And
with Korean needs taxing our
blood supplies to their utmost,
should there be an outbreak Of
large-scale fighting elsewhere,
we would indeed be faced with
a desperately critical situation.
Hence, the immediate building
up Of a new blood reserve for our
Armed Forces becomes a vital
necessity.
That our currently small re-
serves cannot last long under the
circumstances is underlined in a
statement made by Secretary of
Defense. Robert A. Lovett. we
