Almost all horses are able to event, but some of the popular Olympic and 4-star breeds are warmbloods, thoroughbreds, and sporthorses. This is because these breeds are bred strong and for jumping. An ideal height for an event horse would be around 16hh to 17hh, as a horse to short may struggle to clear large fences, and a horse too large may be unbalanced.
