American Blazer Horse News: History of the Breed
In 1959 in Star, Idaho, the foundation stallion for the American Blazer horse--Little Blaze--was born.
Little Blaze was a combination of selective breeding by Neil Hinck, mixing Quarter Horse, Shetland Pony, Thoroughbred and Morgan to create the American Blazer breed. Registered Blazers have at least one parent with a bloodline tracing back to Little Blaze.
Other breed standards include standing between 13 and 15 hands, a solid coat color with dark underlying skin, and white markings are only allowed on the face and below the knee or hock.
Along with their distinct size and color attributes, Blazers are known for their athleticism, versatility, durability, high bone-to-muscle ratio, heart and disposition.
The Blazers' athleticism and versatility makes them suitable for a wide variety of competitive venues, as Blazers compete in reined cow horse and cutting events, endurance races, arena speed events and English disciplines. Their durability and substantial bone-to-muscle ratio only adds to their athleticism and versatility.
This breed's heart and gentle disposition makes Blazers popular for more than competing, as they are very loyal to their riders and eager to learn a variety of new tasks. They are wonderful with children and have been used for trail rides, working livestock, as pack horses and to pull buggies.
