Hatch's Quarter Horses was established in 1982, tucked in the southeast corner of Nebraska, in the middle of Heartland America, with one little four stall barn and a postage stamp pasture. We started by breeding our Quarter Horse mare to Zippo Pine Bar, our daughters showed our horses and eventually we began offering Quarter Horses for sale, some for show, some for breeding, and some for riding.
The Mr Big Zipper Foals are making their mark in the trail arena. Congratulations to Chrome On My Zipper, AQHA 2008 High Point Green Trail Junior Horse.
Mr Big Zipper foals, to date, have earned over 1,350 trail points. We have several started at home, not quite as young as this one.
