Quarter Horse growth drives rising registrations and shows
The Quarter Horse Association reported a growing industry in 1961 with national membership reaching 24 555, up 4 938 that year. The association published 422 pages of news in The Quarter Horse Journal and inspectors logged over half a million miles examining 1 813 horses. Despite high sales averages, the number of auctions rose to 101 with 4 949 horses sold at an average of 1 361 dollars, while the prior year saw 4 214 horses at 1 499 dollars. Breeders warn prices may be too high but Texas sales show mares and colts under 500 dollars, suggesting lower prices could broaden ownership.
