Top 3 Common Misconceptions about the Thoroughbred:

The Thoroughbred Horse is often misunderstood. Many believe that you have to be a very experienced rider to enjoy this breed. Although people have been riding and enjoying these horses for many years, some still view them as better suited to someone else. On endless occasions, we have heard people make the comment "Once a racehorse, always a racehorse!" Or "I am interested in a horse, as long as it's not a Thoroughbred!"

The lack of experience with Thoroughbred Horses often leads people to believe that they are all very high strung animals, and only suited for racing. As the Thoroughbred Horse has been around longer than the Standardbred breed, they are somewhat better known in the equine world. However, this has caused several different challenges with how people can view them. This breed is often seen as high strung and not suitable for many riders. But with the correct feeding regime and a solid re-education, Thoroughbred Horses make fantastic riding companions! We strive to educate individuals with our view that horses are like people; each horse has its own unique characteristic and temperament. Some can have a 'mind of their' own at times, while others are as quiet and easy as a good pony.

Thoroughbred Horses are a well known breed that comes in many shapes and sizes. The height average can range between 14 to 18 hands. And depending on the breeding, these horses range from a very stockily built horse to a more refined and leaner body shape. They have a very intelligent nature and tend to bond with their owners incredibly well. Thoroughbred Horses can be very good family pets and grow very attached to people as well as other horses.
