5. Thoroughbred this breed of horse is the best horse to have for horse racing they are very tall slim and athletic. They are used basically in all English events. Like I said before with the horse racing they will usually get a torn leg ligament and then their owners sell them to someone who will use them for trail riding because once you tear the ligaments in the legs they are no longer strong.

There is a trail set up outside and its on grass and in some spots dirt. The jumps are made out of logs and for some jumps there are puddles of water in front or behind the jump but not all of them are like that.
