Best Answer

Thoroughbreds are breed for speed and stamina so if you were to want a really quick horse then yes they are the best breed. If you mean the best muscle machine then a heavy horse (Clydesdale, shire, Suffolk, Ardennes etc.) or Brittish native ponies (fell, dales, highland, Shetland-for its size) are ideal.

Thoroughbreds do go lame easily and need very specific diets and training programmes so are not by far the easiest horse to look after. Also, the thoroughbred is sometimes ill-tempered and difficult to handle (although some are BFGs).
