A Thoroughbred Horse

A Thoroughbred Horse has legs that seem too long for their bodies.        

A Thoroughbred is a particular breed, the fastest breed in the world.

About three hundred years ago,some people in England tried to “create”a new breed of horse.They  would cross two kinds of horses,each of which had certain strengths.

Kentucky with its mild climate and lush blue grass, became an unofficial  center of the Thoroughbred Horse breeding in America.

An officially registered horse has a number tattooed inside its lip.

  1. Mrs. Rogers wanted to add a fact about the jockeys that ride the horses. They are usually very small men - short and thin. The first jockeys were African Americans.
