These beautiful horses are called Thoroughbreds! There is a reason why Thoroughbreds are named Thoroughbreds. Thorough means carefully and most detailed, and bred is where a horse owner matches up a Mare* and a Gelding*; hopes for them to fall in love. The goal is to have a perfectly healthy, ideal foal* born off of those adult horses. So, thorough and bred put together means carefully bred.
As you notice in all three pictures, it looks like a Thoroughbred is a good horse for racing. True fact! Their long body, good joints, lean head, and graceful neck make Thoroughbreds a perfect racehorse!
?Fun Fact?:
Thoroughbreds are one of
the greatest racehorses in
the world!
