Thoroughbred horses

Thoroughbred horses are a breed known for their speed, agility, and stamina, primarily used in horse racing. Originating in the 17th and 18th centuries in England, they are descendants of Arabian, Barb, and other equine breeds. Thoroughbreds are often identified by their tall, slim build and strong legs, which contribute to their racing performance. They compete in various racing events around the world, with the Kentucky Derby and the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe being among the most prestigious. Beyond racing, many Thoroughbreds also excel in other equestrian disciplines and as sport horses.
