Thoroughbreds are known for their exceptional stamina, particularly in long-distance races, typically ranging from 1 to 1.5 miles. This breed has been selectively developed for speed and endurance, allowing them to maintain a fast pace over extended periods. Their stamina is supported by a strong cardiovascular system and efficient muscle composition, enabling them to compete in various equestrian events beyond traditional racing. Overall, their stamina makes them versatile athletes in the equestrian world.
Usually Thoroughbreds are thought of as racehorses but other horses are used like Arabs (not as fast as thoroughbreds and don't jump fences or hurdles), Akhal-tekes (speed is not comparable to thoroughbreds but is famously heat- and drought- resistant with high stamina) and Quarter Horses (the oldest all-American breed who were originally raced over quarter-mile stretches).
You can find Thoroughbreds on grass.
Thoroughbreds are linked to only three founding stallions—the Darley Arabian, the Godolphin Arabian, and the Byerley Turk—because these horses were pivotal in establishing the breed in the 17th and 18th centuries. They contributed to the genetic pool that formed the basis of modern Thoroughbreds, with their bloodlines being selectively bred for speed, stamina, and agility. This limited genetic foundation has led to a closely related lineage, which is a defining characteristic of the breed's history and development.
Thoroughbreds are located in every state in the US.

There are quiet a few breeds of horses that are good at eventing. Here are some: * Thoroughbreds- speed and stamina * Arabians- endurance, speed, and stamina * Cleveland Bays- their wonderful willingness I highly recommend an Arabian or Thoroughbred. Both breeds will have good endurance levels and speed. If you intend to start eventing, good-luck and have fun! Winnie the Horse Gentler
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).
