Most people recognize the thoroughbred horse because they are the most used breed in horse racing, but not many people know that Thoroughbred horses are multipurpose horses, and can be used in many disciplines other than horse racing. Thoroughbreds are labeled as “hot-blooded” horses but they are so much more than that.

Not only they are active and strong but they are also very intelligent, and athletic. It’s a breed not everyone can handle, but that’s what makes it so brilliant. As we said before, although they’ve been bred originally for their racehorse qualities since their origin, thoroughbreds also compete in different disciplines such as jumping or dressage.

 

They’re also utilized as trail horses, general riding horses, and pleasure driving horses.  Besides that, thoroughbreds are frequently used to add sophistication and athleticism to other horse breeds. Particularly, all sport horses most likely have thoroughbreds in their ancestry.

Thoroughbreds have been developed to be fast and spirited so they are not the best choice for beginner riders. But for professional riders who can lead the breed’s energy, thoroughbreds are definitely the best breed around. Due to their reputation, thoroughbreds are very easy to find around the world. If you are thinking about buying one, you have to be prepared to pay a lot of money.
