Thoroughbreds are the most popular racehorses in North America. This breed is considered a "warmblood," meaning it is known for its agility, speed, and spirit. It is an excellent all-around horse that often has a career in other equestrian competitions in addition to racing, such as dressage and show jumping. Or, it simply lives as a pet kept for pleasure. Due to its fast metabolism, you may need to feed a Thoroughbred more than other breeds, but a standard equine diet should suffice. Additionally, gentle grooming is best for these horses since their skin tends to be more sensitive.
