Because of a Thoroughbred horse's athletic and powerful haunches and muscles Thoroughbred's can excel in most disciplines. TBs are often used for cross country as they are powerful enough to get themselves and riders over fences and also fast enough to get around the course. TBs are quite good at xcountry if they are trained or ridden that way. They are good at jumping, dressage, racing and other sports as well.
