Colorado Ranger

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Colorado Ranger is a breed of horse that traces back to the founding stallions of the breed. The Colorado Ranger Horse Association], one of the oldest horse registries in the United States^{[citation needed]}, registers horses that can be traced back to one of the two founding stallions of the breed. The horses registered must meet additional registration requirements. The Colorado Ranger Horse traces back to one of the two stallions, Max or Patches, and they may only contain the bloodlines of Appaloosa, Arabian Horse, Thoroughbred or American Quarter Horse breeds. There are no color requirements, except that a horse cannot contain paint or pinto bloodlines or markings. A Colorado Ranger horse also cannot be of pony or draft horse breeding. Appaloosas are the largest source for Colorado Ranger horse bloodlines. Approximately one in every eight Appaloosas can trace their bloodlines back to one of the founding two stallions.
