Did you know that the Spanish explorers introduced horses to North America in the late fifteenth century? Native Americans then helped spread them throughout the continent. The thoroughbred was established in England in the 18th century when English mares were bred with imported Arabian stallions to develop a racing horse. All modern Thoroughbreds descend from three stallions imported to England from the Middle East. The first Thoroughbred horse in the American Colonies was introduced in 1730. Although the Thoroughbred is mainly bred for racing, the taller ones can also be used for show jumping and the smaller ones for polo. The size of a Thoroughbred is approximately 64 inches or 1.63 meters high and can be brown, bay, graw/roan, black or chestnut.
