Arabians, Thoroughbreds, American Quarter Horses, and certain Appaloosas were bred for speed. The Arab was smalla nd compact, used maintly for distance. Thoroughbreds are stronger and more agile than an Arab, they also stand much taller, but they varry. Some may run distance, some may sprint, some may be somewhere int he middle. Quater Horses were bred msotly for anything at all. They were fast, agile, strong, loyal, and very smart. They are very fast, but only for a quater mile to half a mile, thus the name American Quarter Horse. Appaloosas were bred by Native Americans for hunting. They are basiclly a combination of Arabs, Thoroughbreds, and Quarter Horses.
