Thoroughbred

Thoroughbred horses are best known for their use in horse races. They were developed in England for use as warmblood horses. They've been around since the 16th century. From their use in King James' cavalry to modern horse races, the Thoroughbred horse is one of the most famous breeds in many world cultures. However, because they are so expensive and rare, they are frequently regarded as an elite breed of horse.

Despite being bred for racing, Thoroughbreds make excellent show horses and jumpers. They have a long history in American culture as the first breed used in the Pony Express. This horse breed takes up a lot of space and requires a lot of maintenance. They are known to have hot blood, but not much stamina for endurance. According to reports, they are more than willing to work and compete with the best breeds in heavy duties.

They are also quite stubborn, which keeps them at their best when properly trained. These horses have strong bones and are suitable for dressage, showing, or polo. They can also be used as a packhorse or for fox hunting. These horses behave similarly to dogs, wanting to be protected by humans. They are bred and raised in both the United Kingdom and the United States.

Price: The price range is enormous: yearlings from top bloodlines can fetch millions of dollars. Fusaichi Pegasus, the winner of the 2000 Kentucky Derby, is said to be the most expensive horse in history, having sold for $70 million. Northern Dancer's 174 offspring sold for a total of $160 million at Keeneland Sales over a 22-year period in the 1970s and 1980s.
