Descended from Arabian stock, the Thoroughbred can rightly be said to be the most important modern breed of horse. Its development over the last 250 years has been phenomenal. It was initially bred entirely for racing for the amusement of the British royalty, aristocracy and gentry, but the popularity of the sport among the general public and the lure of gambling led to the spread of Thoroughbred racing and breeding to every continent of the world. The Thoroughbred can be highly strung and requires very sensitive, skilled handling, but the horse is also noted for its courage, toughness and elegance.
