AssociationsBreedsChariot and Chuckwagon Racing chariots and chuckwagons is a sport that reaches back to Roman times and the Wild West. Both are timed events, although the courses are different -- chariots are generally straight line sprints
on a flat racetrack mostly with pairs of Quarter Horses, while chuckwagon races are comprised of teams (four ups) that negotiate courses and require human teamwork with driver and one or two outriders. Both are exhilerating sports that are wildly exciting to both participant and spectator.
(less...) Since the early days of exploration and settlement, people have come together at certain times of the year to enjoy the festival of a season or the celebration of a special event. When people came
together for these occasions, they came by horseback to eat, drink, visit, look around, play, have a little fun, and to see who had the fastest horse. Even today horse racing and fairs share a particularly special partnership of history and fun.

(less...) Sprint racing, also known as Quarter Mile Racing, is generally the domain of the American Quarter Horse, but is also enjoyed by other breeds as well. Short distance racing originated in North
America shortly after the founding of Jamestown in 1607, but was deemed "less acceptable" to the morals of the colonists than harness racing, and was only enjoyed on the fringes of society. As America pushed west, however, sprint racing returned to the forefront, and today is a highly popular sport eclipsed only by Thoroughbred flat racing. Quarter Mile racing is generally found in the mid-west and western US.

ServicesSteeplechasing The name "steeplechasing" came from the quaint custom of horsemen (and ladies, when so inclined) to challenge one another to a race, often selecting the most notable and identifiable landscape feature
- usually a far away church steeple - as the finish line. These impromptu races often took the form of a deadout run straight cross-country, hurtling every obstacle in the way - including hedges, walls, brush, livestock, and irate farmers - much to the exhilaration of the riders and whatever spectators happened to be standing within view. In its more modern form, this delightful sport still involves a blistering gallop over fences and brush, however it now takes on far tamer turf, and is generally found in the company of "the finer set" who dress to the nines for the occasion, dragging out the china, silver and caviar for an appropriate "tailgate picnic" while ostensively viewing the galloping field from the vantage point of an enclosed paddock or a gentle, well-groomed hillside. Among the more famous steeplechases are Ascot (which is known for not only for its astounding ability to encourage the most ostentatious ladies hats imaginable, but also played a delightful and memorable part in the movie My Fair Lady), The Grand National (another which found its way to the silver screen, launching a young Elizabeth Taylor to Hollywood stardom in the movie National Velvet), and The Maryland Hunt Cup (an American institution that proudly boasts a heritage predating the Revolutionary War). wp
