  Thoroughbred horse race - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thoroughbred horse racing is the most popular form of horse-racing throughout the world.
A trainer, who is hired by the thoroughbred horse's owner, would train the horses for a particular event (the horse trains on a local training track near the stable and at facilities and in the open country nearby) and also enter horses into races that would suit the horse.
While the attention of horseracing fans and the media is focused almost exclusively on the horse's performance on the racetrack or for male horses, possibly its success as a sire, but little publicity is given the brood mares.

 Thoroughbred - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Also, "thoroughbred" is an adjective often used by laymen to describe fully-blooded descendants of a particular breed, although it is an incorrect use of the term.
Although the Thoroughbred is primarily bred for racing, the breed is also used for show jumping and combined training due to its athleticism, and many retired race horses become fine family riding horses, endurance horses, dressage horses, and youth show horses.
The larger horses are sought after for hunter/jumper and dressage competitions, whereas the smaller horses are in demand as polo ponies.

Through the struggles of this one equine athlete, many horse owners and horse enthusiasts have been able to learn about the special problems associated with fracture repair in the horse and with the many innovations currently in use to help heal these athletes.
Reducing trauma at the fracture site increases healing, gets the horse up and moving quickly (because it is not sore and waiting for a tendon to heal), and more efficiently brings horses back from a serious fracture.
If private hospitals and smaller equine clinics reduce their inventory and limit the types of fracture cases that they can handle properly, some horses with serious fractures may have to be trailered longer distances for surgery.
