The first breed of horse was the Arabian Horse. All other light horse breeds derive from the Arabian (not including draft horses, ponies or donkeys). In other words, every breed of horse has various amounts of Arabian blood in them. One of the first horses to be bred down from the Arabian was the Thoroughbred, for, of course, racing. Every thoroughbred's pedigree dates back to one of three Arabian horses......
The Byerly Turk (1680s), the Darley Arabian (1704), and the Godolphyn Arabian (1729). There are many Thoroughbreds today with as many as 118,000 foals being born every year, worldwide.
Don't quote me on this, but I believe there are 267 breeds of horses on this earth, but the "Arabian" horse is the only pure breed that has ever existed. They have beauty, intelligence, strength and stamina, and were so loved and revered by their Bedouwin masters that they brought them into their tents to protect them.
The Arabian stands between 14.2 and 15.2 hands, typically, while the Thoroughbred stands between 15.2 and 17 hands tall.
Some of the other breeds which derive from the Arabian are, The Morgon, The Quarter Horse, The Lippizan, The Saddlebred, the Standardbred, to name only a few, including the Mustang.

The Jockey Club is the official Thoroughbred registry, so google The Jockey Club and select the Interactive Registry Help Desk.

If its 4 numbers the horse will be a little older than a horse that has 5 or more numbers on his tattoo.
