Olivia - 2012-01-27 Could someone please tell me if TBs(thoroughbreds) or WBs (warmbloods) are better show jumpers, and who are better all-rounders? Thank-you, Olivia

Ms. Jeffi - 2012-01-27 I think WBs are slightly better jumpers but they both make good all rounders. This is just from my own experiences though...
Charlie Roche - 2012-01-27 If I understand the info correctly the throughbreds are bred from defined warmbloods for specific sport whether racing or jumping so I would go on the basis of what the actual pony is bred for. Thoughbreds are normally bred for a sport. All rounders in handling riding personality is dependent on ancestry and breeding. Easier to judge by the parental linage. Hope this helps.
ed - 2012-02-15 I am not sure on on who might be the better jumper but I now my throughbred trusts me and he would jump any thing I would ask him to and he would cross any river. I would hope I would know his limits.
shaby - 2012-08-20 this is my opinion is that wb are better at show jumping and tbs are better at rounder
Anonymous - 2013-04-27 TBs are often crossed with Irish Draughts to make Irish Sport Horses which are excellent all rounders and fantastic jumpers.
Tina - 2012-09-17 Can anyone confirm, that if a Thoroughbred Stallion is gelded at age 7, that he will always have his stallion bad habits- he is now 8 and being very pushy, taking off, fighting w/ other horses, badly enough to have one swift kick to another horse and killed it. Not a good option to rescue for a teenage experienced rider??

Charlie Roche - 2012-09-18 Memories - ah those memories. Most say it would take a year or so for the stallion to calm a bit but many say, he just won't. He was mature and was a stalion and those behaviors have become part of his personality. It is possible he may calm down but at 7 - he was a mature male and he will most likely retain the behaviors.
Keeva - 2013-03-01 Yes most stallions have it in their head from a very young age that there the ringleaderso best be geldedat 2-3 years old.
eva - 2012-02-15 The PROs and CONs of owning a horse: PROs: 1. Horses can live till they are over 25 years old, this makes them a wonderful friend! 2. Despite there size, horses with the right loving care and training, are very affectionate, sweet temped and loving. 3. YOU can learn so much from a horse!
CONs: 1. Owning and caring for a horse takes a LOT of time and commitment. 2. Horses hooves must be shod/trimmed every 6-8 weeks by a farrier, this costs a 'bit'! 3. All horses/ponies should be fed at-least a little bit of 'hard-feed' every day even if they are being spelled or are a companion horse OR if they do or don't graze each day=MONEY! 4. Buying Tack, Brushes, Rugs etc. costs. Also beware POISONOUS-PLANTS. 5. HORSES NEED A YARD!

The Thoroughbred is the fastest horse in the world and dominates the horse racing industry!
Race horses are the fastest horses in the world.
Zenyyata, Secretariat, Sebiscuit and Man of War.
Yes they are! and I think Seabiscuit still holds the record:)
