English - born Billy Anson (1872 - 1926), who raised
Quarter horses on his ranch near Christoval, traced the breed to colonial
times and helped preserve its history and pedigrees. He is honored
in Amarillo's American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame. During the Boer
War, Billy evaluated more than 100,00 Texas horses, and sent more than
20,000 of them to the British in South Africa.
