The Hohokam peoples of Arizona existed between 200 BC and 1450 AD. They were well known as "canal builders" for their superior farming practices. They were also skilled artisans, creating intricate pottery and woven baskets. The Hohokam Basket Horse represents this unique design and complex crafting, with shots of blue, representing the Hohokam's advanced irrigation techniques, dividing the stylized farm fields.
The Quarter Horse is the quintessential highly-bred American horse. Named for its ability to outdistance other horses in races of a quarter mile or less, the Quarter Horse is the mount of choice cowboys, western pleasure riders and competitors in any equine sport from rodeo to ranching. The muscular build and compact body of this horse make it well suited for work requiring speed and maneuverability. Today the American Quarter Horse is the most popular breed in the world. |
