I like both but the old style made excellent halter material. If u get too much muscle they do not move loosely and nicely. I like the more thorobred look of today more versatile. I love them both, the old QH were pretty tough but Impressive beautiful as he was could not move worth a darn. All halter in him. Grand old boy though.

I wouldn't say that any of those horses look like TBs, really.
Well just for kicks I went and looked up some old line TB's and found

The Tetrarch (TB)...................and here is Grey Badger II

Sure, he's a little thicker but not bulldoggy like the Poco Horses.

Does the new style with refined heads have slightly dished faces?

Im a fan of the "bulldog" type of QH.

I love big apple rumps, leg at each corner and a V the size of the golden arches between them front legs.....

It all depends on what they're being used for as to what type I'd prefer. If I was doing dressage/jumping I'd prefer a lighter looking QH. If it was more of a Western discipline I'd prefer a stockier horse.

Joe Hancock Major Foundation QH, sire of lines that are famous for cow and ranch work


Hard Twist another major Foundation QH sire also of cow horses and rodeo horses


Plaudit Foundation QH sire again with cow horses and roping horses


Joe Reed Foundation QH sire making bloodlines of working Ranch and show horses in cow events. Sure he's got muscle, but way leggier and taller than those stocky "old style" QH's



Old Joe Bailey Foundation QH sire. Again sire of cow horses, big time.


Peter McCue Foundation QH sire. A whole lot of good modern Foundation QH's trace back to him.


Grey Badger II Foundation QH sire and in Two Eyed Jacks Ped. Looks kinda like a TB for an "old style" QH.


Oklahoma Star about one of the top leanding Foundation QH sires in history. Heavy on the cow influence and found in sought after Foundation QH's to this day. First pict is of him and second is him and his dam.


I'd put more but I'm probably close to the limit on pictures in a post now. The Quarter Horse has always been a diverse breed of many body styles. Even back to our Foundation Sires. So there really is no "old style" and "modern" QH. But it is a continuation of what the breed started with and where it's still going. Thats why the AQHA promotes them as "Americas Most Versitle Horse" There is a "type" of QH for any event you want to do. Well maybe not saddleseat, but you get the picture.

Edited to add: And I guess I should mention, we raise, train and show Foundation QH's and they are my passion. But what we own goes from a 17hh over 90% foundation QH gelding who's built but not stocky and a 14.3hh over 80% foundation QH mare who looks just like Peppy. So I perfer which ever horse can get the job done. Doesn't matter if he's tall and legy (and we rope and do WCH with the gelding) or if she's short and packed. As long as the cow is still there, I just don't care "which" body type it has.
See, to me, NONE of those horses look like TB's. When I think of TB, I think of:


Ruffian^ Undefeated in 10 starts until she broke her leg in a match race in 1975.

I like old style bodies with "new" style heads. The QH "New" head brings it back to it's Arabian roots with prittier heads
