Want to learn how the American Quarter Horse began? This page is for all of you students of pedigree that need more information about the Foundation Quarter Horse. Foot notes and places to find further reading on Foundation Quarter Horses are located at the end of each story.

All of these great horses are found 'up-close' in Karen Griffith Farms' senior stallion, Atahi. Click here to see Atahi's great Foundation Quarter Horse pedigree. I will be adding more of the old Foundation Quarter Horse stories soon.

Some of the Great Paint Foundation Horses will be included on this page. (Mister J Bar - coming soon!)

Click on the following links to go directly to your foundation stock horse of interest. When available, photos will be included with each story. Hope you enjoy!
