COPPERBOTTOM ch. H, THOROUGHBRED, 1828
| Color: ch
(USA), WASB 579
Bred by Edward Parker of Landcaster, Pennsylvania in 1828. Purchased by General Sam Houston in 1839 and brought to Texas.
One other great stallion put his stamp on the Quarter Horse during this period. His name was Sir Archy, sired by the imported stallion Diomed, and foaled in 1805. Sir Archy’s sons and daughters would be the most important influences in the development of Quarter Horses during the next half century. One of Sir Archy’s sons was the great Copper Bottom, brought to Texas in 1839 by General Sam Houston. Both Steel Dust and Shiloh, foundation stallions of the modern Quarter Horse, trace back to Sir Archy. Two other stallions which would contribute to the short-horse bloodlines around this same time were Printer and Tiger. https://www.aqha.com/history-of-the-quarter-horse
