Thoroughbreds are mainly English horses, I only ride Western. Can I find a Thoroughbred for me?
Of course! Thoroughbreds can excel in any discipline with the right training. While it's true that Thoroughbreds are becoming more valuable as sport horses and jumpers, there are many that are at the top of the sport in rodeo, reining, ranch work, and more!
Are the horses broke to ride when they come off the track?
Thoroughbreds coming off the track are "track broke." They have been saddle broke, know how to walk, trot, canter, and gallop, do flying changes, and halt. Additionally, they are taught to pick up all four hooves for cleaning and stand tied. Most horses have no trouble transitioning between the track and regular riding.
