Is a thoroughbred horse graceful?

Asked by Wiki User

Definitely! Most thoroughbreds have long, slender legs and muscled haunches, causing them to move with a forward motion that looks strong and effortless. You should google video, "thoroughbred horses on the flat" and see what they come up with. Thoroughbreds, to me, are one of the most graceful horses around!

What kind of horse is best for jumping and dressage?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There is no real correct answer to this question because many kinds of horses jump and do dressage and do it well. The dressage and hunter community seem to lean toward the warmbloods and jumpers and eventers tend to lean toward thoroughbred type horses. That is more for upper level though. At lower levels, as long as the horse is built for it, has good comformation, no lameness issues and has a good head, they can jump and do dressage no matter what the breed.

What are the horses racing at the Kentucky Derby?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is limited to three year old thoroughbreds only. No Belgians or mustangs need apply. Geriatric Gypsy Horses go away, Premature ponies will be escorted out. All size challenged animals like Hanoverian's may leave their applications in the circular file cabinet next to the watercooler.

They are bred to run. Someone said that the Thoroughbred has been bred and inbred with a locomotive for a heart and champange glass stems for legs. Perhaps some form of Genetic discipline or engineering will be required.

Asked by Wiki User

If you look on your calender at your house, it will show that on fall and spring, there will be a horse festival (the day you can race your horses) go to theadore at the town square and he will ask you what you want to do. go to "start the race" and he will ask you if you want to perticipate. In order to participate your horse will have to be close to that ranking level. If it says you cant participate keep doing the same thing. If its your 4th time doing that and it still says you cannot participate,then you must have not had leveled up your horse with 2 hearts. You have to have 2 or more hearts in order to participate at least one of your horses.If you still don't understand, I'm not shure what you can do.I hope I helped! - Ashlie R.

Meaning of placings?

User Avatar

Asked by Deuevans

Traditional Horse Show Prize Ribbon Colors Common Colors of Ribbons or Rosette Awards. Depending on where you are in the world, a blue ribbon could mean first or second place. This chart shows you the colors of rosettes or ribbons generally used in United States, Canada, Britain and Australia. The colors may change according to the event organizers preferences, the club colors, or expense. Awarding ribbons of all one color may be more economical for a small organization. In some countries or areas traditional colors may not be used at all. In Holland orange often signifies first place. Often the colors used for the first five placings are traditional, but ribbon colors from 6th downwards are less consistent.

Example:

Rosette Colors
