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.
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!

Toby Jungle - 2011-09-05 When I was young, I wanted a horse in the worts way and my dad kept saying no as there was no place to put him. I thought if I cleaned out the garage really good, then I could put it in the garage. Dad still said "NO" Anyhow got a little older and rode all the time - someone elses horses but I didn't have to clean the garage again either.
M - 2010-07-11 I loveeee my thoroughbred. They are the most beautiful animals and they are so sweet and loving and although my tb can be a bit fiesty... I wouldn't trade him for anything:)

Liz - 2010-08-26 We have an opportunity to adopt a 2yr old gelded stallion tb. He's beautiful and seems sweet. Will he be a good pet? We're not planning to ride very often. Is there a tremendous amount of medical and grooming care required? "L"
liv - 2011-02-27 Aww good I'm getting a thoroughbred in a couple months any down sides?
Hannah - 2011-06-13 Do the 'Thoroughbreds" have to be race horses? I would prefer to just go rising on trails, that sort of thing. And is it possible to get the Appaloosa color in a Thoroughbred? I heard that they do come in that color. But I am not sure? Thanks.
Charlie Roche - 2011-06-13 Thoroughbreds don't have to race to be happy and love you. I would imagine most don't just beautiful to appreciate and ride.
macey - 2011-09-05 I wish I had a horse you are so lucky.

The Thoroughbred is the fastest horse in the world and dominates the horse racing industry!
Race horses are the fastest horses in the world.
