Fun Fact: Quarter Horse originated in Virginia.

The American Quarter Horse is reputed to be the oldest all-American breed. The origins of this breed started as early as the 1600s, soon after settlement of the Americas by the British. In order to produce a horse suitable for both work and sport, English horses, with a background of Arab, Native and Spanish blood were crossed with stock of Spanish origin already in America.
