The Thoroughbred is best known for its excellence in horse racing, where its agility, speed and spirit are showcased. Thoroughbreds typically range from 15.2 to 17.0 hands in height and are most often bay, brown, chestnut, black, or grey. Although mainly used for racing, Thoroughbreds are extremely versatile and are also used for showjumping, dressage, eventing, polo, pony club and many other horse pursuits and sports. They are often cross bred to enhance other breeds, which include Quarter Horses, Paint Horses, Appaloosas, Arabians, Warmbloods and Australian Stock Horses.
