About The Breed:
For hundreds of years the Thoroughbred has been bred for speed. In races like the Kentucky Derby, the horses hit speeds of almost 40 mph.
In the late 1600's and early 1700's three stallions were brought to England. The Byerly Turk, the Darley Arabian, and the Godolphin Arabian. They became the foundation for the entire Thoroughbred breed.
“The Thoroughbred is one of the most brilliant and versatile horses bred in the world today. Noted for its ability to carry speed over extended distances, the Thoroughbred is also a popular choice among horsemen in many disciplines beyond the race track, including hunting, jumping, eventing and polo. ”
