About
The Thoroughbred is a tall, athletic horse breed developed for racing that weighs over a thousand pounds.
This breed is much leaner and leggier than heavy draft horses, prioritizing high speed over pulling power. Stallions are typically slightly taller and heavier than mares, though both maintain a streamlined frame. Despite their slender legs, their deep chests accommodate exceptionally large hearts and lungs built for racing.
