what is a thoroughbred horse
The Thoroughbred is a horse breed best known for its use in horse racing.

Thoroughbreds are considered  hot-blooded  horses, known for their agility, speed and spirit.The Thoroughbred as it is known today was developed in 17th-and 18th-century England, when native mares were crossbred with imported Oriental stallions of Arabian, Barb, and Turkoman breeding.lthough horses of part-Thoroughbred blood were imported into Australia during the late 18th century, it is thought that the first pureblood Thoroughbred was a stallion named Northumberland who was imported from England in 1802 as a coach horse sire.
