English thoroughbred mare from Schleich

The English Thoroughbred refers to a breed of horse from the group of thoroughbreds bred specifically for gallop racing. All English Thoroughbreds are traced back to three Arabian stallions born between 1680 and 1724. The horses are often crossed into other breeds to make them more elegant. English Thoroughbreds have had a particularly strong influence on the development of warmbloods such as the Trakehners, Holsteins, Quarter Horses and Morgan Horses.
