If the main reason why you are buying a horse is to race, then you are probably interested in Horse Racing Breeds. Here is everything you need to know about some of the best Horse Racing Breeds.
American Standardbred
These larger horses are very strong and very fast. They are excellent with carriage racing, and are considered one of the fastest breeds in the world.
Thoroughbred
There is a reason why this is the horse you will see at the Triple Crown races. These horses are powerful in their muscular form, and have a noble head with proudly arched neck. They generally have clean hard legs and strong bone mass. They were originally bred for speed, and they are often used to improve other breeds. In Europe, they are bred with an emphasis on stamina.
Arabians
Arab horses have a lineage that is the product of thousands of years of pure breeding. These horses are relatively small in size, but are very beautiful and muscular. The fiery nature of this breed has earned it the nickname of hotblood, but they can also be quite gentle.
