This is very cool and I love seeing old films it’s so nostalgic and soothing
This film should be digitized and restored. These old records are so important, and it’s in color! Thank you for sharing.
I'll second that. These are important films; if I can hope there's more of them. I love being able to look back at how it "used to be".
Have to agree and as a Foundation Morgan breeder I can tell that at least 95 % of these horses were full blooded Morgans!
What a priceless gem. The footage of The Old Clegg Sorrel alone, absolutely floors me! There are only about two pictures of him that you see. He looks so dark in the film, you can really see his Thoroughbred lineage. All of these horses would stand today as horses horsemen would be proud to ride. Thank you so much for posting. What a bunch of important horses and breeders. To see Joe Hancock, and Roan Hancock, Little Joe Jr, and Del Rio Joe, Hollywood Gold and Golden Chief, it is a dream come true. Redman and Chicaro Bill! So exciting, too to see Ott Adams and Helen Michaelis. Peppy, Wimpy, and all of that great footage of the King Ranch. I want to share it with someone. I'd never seen a picture of John Dial.
1940 just before the war thank you for sharing all the beautiful horses ❤
This film is a national treasure!
All these horses are so correct! Good straight legs and great feet. We could use more of that today.
This was wonderful! Our first horses on our ranch when I was very young we’re out of Three Bars and Hollywood Gold, top and bottom. They made excellent cow horses and I took my dad’s cutting mare and trained her on barrels, poles and showmanship. She was beautiful! Light Sorrel with four white socks and Flaxen mane and tail. White stripe on her nose. She looked like a dark Palomino. I loved her and cried when she died at 25.
Haven’t heard the word “billfold” in YEARS😂!!! I just loved this film♥️‼️my mare was Dandy Flit Bar , a beautiful sorrel mare, kind, smart, and the best horse ever!!! sigh… miss these days of youth and good horses to ride and play on!!!♥️🙋♀️🥰 grateful!
Thanks for this wonderful find. Awesome piece of history. Priceless. J
When I was a young city boy living in the inner city of Phila. in the 50s and 60s my father sent me to live on my Aunt's and Uncle's farm for the summers. Dad didn't want me just hanging around on the corner for the summers, gee I wonder why??.
My Uncle boarded and raised rodeo stock. He had a quarter horse he used for calf roping named Honey Bee. She was as sweet as pie. As a city kid, I knew nothing about horses but after a few summers, I grew to love Honey Bee and rode her and cared for her. She was a gentle soul and a true friend but she was bully around the feed trough :D.
As a young boy I rode her on my Cowboy and Indians fantasies LOL I even got lost in the woods on her once, I was scared to death but she took me home. I'll never forget Honey Bee.
You’re lucky that you and Honey Bee weren’t abducted by aliens out in those woods. Just stay away from granite.
"We didn't know how to dally anything in 1940," gotta love BF Yeates!
I love that. Thank you for putting it together. I was laughed when I was a kid and said I wanted to trace my mares bloodlines, I got as far as Whimpy 1. When I was old enough I purchased my mares full sister in foal to a docs Hollywood son, and trace back to Hollywood gold and doc bar... I would love to learn more.
Nothing like a quarter horse.
What a pleasure- thank you for sharing 😊
Fabulous old film of my favourite horse breed Quarter horse👍
This was wonderful! I would take any one of these ol'timey horses. They are beautiful.
Excellent movie on Quarter Horses . Loved the commentary thank you so much.
I owned and loved a beautiful chestnut grand son of Doc Bar this is awsome seeing this.
This is terrific. I’ve got a 25 yr QH sorrel with Hollywood Gold linage. Thanks for posting.
Yes this needs to be digital. Best documentary on past horses
Loved every second of this film! Good narration, classis👍 Thank you!
A lot of white spots on those withers back then. More horses had them than not. Makes you wonder why the horses were broncier back then..... Horsemanship has come a long long way since then. Like every sport we evolve. Old cowboy told me once that they didn't have time to play with horses with their pinky fingers back then they had a job to do and get it done now.
I owned a AQHA horse from the king ranch
My grandfather was a range rider for the state of Texas an rode a horse called Joe. HE did most of the roping out of the twelve!
Thank you for posting this; the earlier and ranching/working horses are admired as well by many who do not have involvement in the breed.
That was beautiful wonderful to watch thank you
I had a binion mare you good see the thoroughbred in her personally I’ve always preferred what I know as a cow horse shorter frame thicker front barb Joel nice foundation on these horses my first introduction to quarter horses was late sixties I went with a friend to purchase a horse in High River Alberta they where about thirty miles out now it’s all paved roads we truly lost something
I sure enjoyed this video. My daddy talked about all these horses but held firm on Chicaro Bill, Johnny Cakes (a Bold Ruler horse) and Joe Hancock, blood lines for his brood mares.
You could not go wrong breeding anything to Bold Ruler. The European bloodlines in his pedigree are second to none.
The filmmaker wouldn't recognize the modern quarter horse, a beast more suited to pulling a middlebuster than wearing a saddle.
I showed quarter horses in the late 60s and early 70s and what I see today saddens me. The breed mostly has gone in the wrong direction IMO. The last western pleasure class I watched was horrifying. When did quarter horses start dragging their noses on the ground. It freaked me out.
@@penelopelopez8296 by the late 70’s they were already bigger than most draft horses of the mid 1900’s
I totally agree
I laughed when I saw the young stock being halter broke by hooking them to a mule. Never used that method myself but had a friend who used that tactic with Saddlebreds and he said it worked great.
Actually, those are donkeys. Better done by hand.
The Duwain Hughes shown and mentioned in this film was my grandfather.
Want to let you know about an article on the Western Horseman website. Not sure exactly how you get to it within the site, but it's called, under Flashbacks "Quarter Horses Then and Now" Part 1 and 2. There is an interesting blurb in Part 2 about your grandfather, whom most people have heard of. The Western Horseman essay is dated June 24, 2021 from the W.H. issue Jan/Feb 1939 in Part 2
That's great -
10:48 Amazing to see Afrikander cattle in Texas, this breed originates from South Africa.
Toward the end of this film, finally a few horses mentioned in Arizona, not only Texas were instrumental in the foundation AQHA bloodlines. Great old film here. Thanks
My name is Kathy Moore and I was leading jockey in the state of Washington won many quarter horse races ❤
that hilarious, i used to halter goat rams by clipping them to an older Shetland pony for an hour or so everyday. they where always the best leading animals.
Mom was born in 24 she said that the quarter horse had draft horse bloodlines behind them. She also said that that they were based on the fact they needed to run and cut cows. Also that they wanted a fast horse that needed to carry it's speed a quarter of a mile.
A cowboy would need a horse with that quick burst of speed to work cattle…stop and spin on a dime to sort out calves, cows, etc…. These were working horses….bred for much more than good looks. I’m saddened with what I see at the AQHA shows today. I guess people just want designer horses now. The modern day western pleasure horses are horrifying to watch.
What a great find ! Very interesting, great narration and beautiful horses 🐎
Good stuff. And thank you.
Wow! I loved this!
Beautiful so nice to see where my boys originated from. Peppy was beautiful.. pity they all have Pssm1 now. Things have definitely got worse over the years.
I owned a studs wimpy Barnes wias his name his great-great-grandfather was the original wimpy out of a King Ranch line. He was a beautiful beautiful horse and Bay with the stripe on his face he was very muscular when you set on him you can see all the muscles in his Neck bulging out he was beautiful we Beed him to lots of Mares he was a great horse because you could ride him with any mares or any geldings and he was a perfect gentleman. I even wrote him in the Christmas parade with other horses. We took him to lots of races he would rather die than the let another horse get in front of him that's the kind of horse he was. I love this video so much and wish that I could have lived in those days because I feel like I was one of those people that should have lived in those days. To me there's a lot of great king ranch horses especially wimpy but I didn't know all the other ones existed until now and the other films that I watch thank you thank you so much sir saving this film and putting it on here so I can see it. His grandfather looked exactly like my wimpy same color same stockings and that beautiful shine that they he always had. he was such a beautiful horse and so well-mannered he came from Blackshear Georgia that's where he was born. I was very lucky to get him and I sure do miss him thanks for this great video it really touches my heart and my soul and what I should have been. A Rancher and a cowboy
I was born in the wrong era also. I know the feeling.
Bom dia eu tive o prazer de estar com cavalos desta época e tenho muita saudades de todos
I prefer the old original quarter horses. The breed has sadly evolved into something unrecognizable to me. I remember in the 1960s and 70s when you went to a quarter horse show you used the same horse for each event you competed in. I recall competing in the morning English events then by noon I’d be pulling out the braids and gearing up for the western classes with the same horse in the afternoon.
Enjoyed!
I wish they still looked this nice and weren't "specialized" into different types. A good horse is good all around. Modern stock horses are rarely good, even for one sport.
It took me a while to realise he was saying film I thought he was saying fam ???
Peppy was a great sire❤
No leo bred horses ? Great video !
como se nota que esos caballos son mesteño raza de caballo mas antiguo de europa y medio oriente caballos tartesos del bajo guardaquivir
I had a filly named Peppy Ann
💜
That was really something! Very surprised at how good the early horses looked. Thank goodness records were recorded. What about Poco Bueno? He must have been earlier than this filming. Thank you for sharing.🐴😷👍
He was later.
These early quarter horses were the epitome of the breed. They were the ones who could do it all…they were bred to be versatile even though they were ranch and cattle horses. These quarter horses could do it all. I’ll take one from back then over one from today.
Poco Bueno was 1944.
Can u imagine the significance of how prolific some of these old horse's were. Leading a horse 25 miles to deliver a horse. Any questions as to the relability of old pedigree
Bill and Southern George were the quarter horse contributors from Eagle Pass
They showed Little Joe Jr more than once and said he was owned by the King Ranch. Which Little Joe Jr.?
There was a Little Joe Jr that Ott Adams owned. He was sired by Joe Bailey, not the Little Joe. Both Little Joe and Little Joe Jr are buried on the old Adams Ranch.
Ott Adams' Little Joe wasn't shown. The chestnut Little Joe Jr. was shown a lot. I didn't know Little Joe Jr was buried on the Adams ranch. Little Joe was sired by Traveler. Got a thrill seeing Ott Adams and R.L. Underwood, and especially The Old Clegg Sorrel and Joe Hancock.

Some have straight legs and big feet---good. But so many long backs? (a long back is a weak back.)
👍
Teasing a mare in a halter class hahahahaha for the stallion to get all showy Like that would be allowed today .....LOL
The actual working ranch horses still look like that .. a few more blondes.
So many of them with saddle sore....🧐
No saddle fitters back then. Cowboys traveled with their own saddles from ranch to ranch and threw on whatever horses they were assigned to. Horses were just expected to deal with it.
The background music is to liud and annoying
The horses are amazing, but some of the handlers stink...🙄😬☹
