I did a Google search on “Queen’s Porter.” It’s the name of a quarter horse, if anyone’s looking for stallion service. My research didn’t yield anything else of significance.

Seriously, Aaron, do you happen to remember your source? If not, please don’t spend any time on this question.

Types of hands are ranked with the less frequent higher, within types the more frequent the higher.
