The goal of the VQHA Virginia-Bred program is to support horse breeding in Virginia and recognize the quality horses produced in small and large programs throughout the state. Our emphasis, of course, is on the American Quarter Horse, which owes many of its characteristics to Janus, a thoroughbred imported from England to Virginia in 1752. Bred to Colonial mares bearing the blood of the Chickasaw horse, the result was the prototype of the American Quarter Horse. He stamped his foals with speed over short distances, as well as the ability to pass that speed through successive generations.
“Compactness of form, strength and power” were the traits associated with the get and progeny of Janus.”
