Three Bars was the most prolific Quarter Horse bloodline of the 20th century, but ironically he was a Thoroughbred. The description states that he was "from Quarter Horse parents," that is incorrect. His parents were Thoroughbreds. His sire was Percentage and his dam was Myrtle Dee. A horse cannot become a "famous Thoroughbred racing horse" from Quarter Horse parents. Only Jockey Club registered horses can compete in Thoroughbred racing and they must be from Thoroughbred parents to be registered. It is true that Three Bars was "made a member of the Quarter Horse Hall of Fame," but it was due to his ability to sire extraordinary Quarter Horses which continued down through his progeny. Most Quarter Horses in the 21st century have at least one cross in their pedigree to this great horse.
The horse knows how to be a horse if we will leave him alone... but the riders don't know how to ride. What we should be doing is creating riders and that takes care of the horse immediately. ~ Charles de Kunffy
This is just a bunch of horse pictures that I have received over the years from friends and family. I needed a place to store them all and this looked like a good spot. I hope you enjoy them as much as I have.
Three Bars was born in 1940 from Quarter Horse parents. He became a famous Thoroughbred racing horse and was made a member of American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame.
