Different Horse Categories:Hotbloods

  Today I'll be telling you about the hotblood category of horses. These horses are incredible athletes. They are very sleek, slender, and fast. There are only three breeds of hotblood horses. One is the Arabian, next is the Thoroughbred, and lastly is the Anglo-Arabian which is a cross between a Thoroughbred and Arabian. Hotbloods dominate the competitive world of horses. Thoroughbreds are known to be the fastest horses and can be seen all over racetracks. Also some of them are bred for jumping and are exceptional at that as well. Thoroughbreds are such great athletes, that many competitive breeds of horses have traces of their blood to improve their athleticism.  Arabians are also known for their swiftness but more than that they are known for their endurance. They can go miles and miles without food or water which is why they are used in endurance races that can go on for 90+ miles. Anglo-Arabians combine both traits of Thoroughbreds and Arabians which means they get a Thoroughbreds speed with the endurance of Arabian, and a good bone structure which also makes them excellent jumpers. Due to all those great qualities Anglo-Arabians make excellent Cross-Country horses which requires horses to race over a long jumping course. Though Hotbloods are great athletes they're personality can be hard to handle. They are incredibly brave and spirited but with that comes horses that easily spook and are highstrung. Their  personality is great in competitions and for very advanced riders but beginners should steer clear of these horses as they are very unpredictable. That's all you need to know about hotbloods.
