Texas Dandy (born 1942) was a Quarter Horse stallion who not only raced well, and sired outstanding broodmares, he was a movie star also.
Texas Dandy was a 1942 sorrel stallion registered as number 2112 with the American Quarter Horse Association (or AQHA).
His dam was a daughter of one of the many unregistered Lone Stars, this one being the one sired by Gold Enamel, a Thoroughbred.
[3] Texas Dandy was an early ambassador for the Quarter Horse breed when he co-starred in Boy From Indiana a 1950 film.
However, Texas Dandy ran past the truck at least three times before he was finally tired enough to allow the Thoroughbred to come close to finishing with him.
