In this world, there are several horses that are judged to have extraordinary running speed. One of the sports in the Asian Games is horse riding. Not just riding a horse, it involves the skill of riding, jumping or running on a horse. Of course the main character in this sport is not only the rider but also the horse. In this world, there are several horses that are judged to have extraordinary running speed. Like a land jet, this is the 3 fastest horse races in the world
1. Arabian
Arabian horses are usually used for traditional racing events, but they excel in terms of endurance compared to other horse breeds in the world today. When the race distance is 50 miles or more, there is a chance that Arabian horses will win the race, even if they have a relatively slower speed compared to other races. What makes this race superior for speed is its stamina. Instead of running fast, horses can maintain speed for even longer periods of time. Unlike other fast horse breeds, Arabian horses are generally quite friendly and temperamental.
This may be because of its extensive history with mankind. There is evidence to suggest horses have been used in the Middle East since 4,500 years ago. Due to their adaptation to the desert environment, strong stamina and overall alertness allow Arabian horses to excel in long-distance races.
2. Quarter Horse
If you look at the running speed, then this is the fastest horse in the world right now. Yet this horse was very fast in just a quarter mile. What makes them stand out is their compact size and muscularity. This allows the horse to be able to perform fast maneuvers of complexity that no other breed can match.
3. Thoroughbred
This horse race is renowned for its ability to race medium distances. Developed in the 17th century, Thoroughbreds are a combination of Barb, Turkish, and Arabic lineages. More than 100,000 foals in this breed are registered globally each year, making it one of the most popular horses in the world today.
The Thoroughbred horse is athletic and slender, tall and strong in its front and hind legs. His temperament is warm-blooded, which also makes this horse suitable for racing. This is a trait that has led to a higher accident rate while racing compared to other races, as well as racing-related health problems, such as bleeding from the lungs.
