Honestly it depends on the horse in the horse world. Thoroughbreds are known as the distance horses and are extremely fast in the races when bred for it. Quarter horses are named such because they are sprinters and can often beat a thoroughbred in a quarter mile race. Arabians in the horse world are often used for pleasure and show but in the Middle East, their place of origin, they were used to cross the deserts by the rich instead of camels and were often used in desert races such as is seen in the movie Hidalgo.
