About the Breed:
In the late 1600's and early 1700's three stallions were brought to England: The Byerly Turk, the Darley Arabian and the Godolphin Arabian. These three stallions became the foundation for a breed that would become one of the fastest in the world. In the United States the Jockey Club manages registration and pedigrees.
▶Average Height for Thoroughbreds is 15.017.0hh.
