His offspring were known for their cow sense, athleticism, and gentle dispositions, making them highly sought after by trainers and riders.

Doc Bar's influence on the Quarter Horse breed is profound. His bloodlines can be found in many of today's top-performing horses, and he is considered one of the most important sires in the history of the breed. His impact extends beyond performance horses, as his descendants are also valued for ranch work and pleasure riding.
