Akhal Teke Racing to the sound of Fantasmic/Wish upon a Star by Nightwish

[silverbella77]

Good grief. You all obviously have the internet. Google the definition for crying out loud! The Akhal Teke is akin to the Arabian, Trakehner and yes - what we know as the Thoroughbred breed. Closed books that allow zero outside blood. (Not like the QH which allows TB blood, Paint which allows TB and QH, most warmbloods which allow Arab & TB etc. etc.)

thoroughbred

American Heritage Dictionary:

thor·ough·bred

(thûr'ō-brĕd', thûr'ə-, thŭr'-)

n.

A purebred or pedigreed animal, especially a horse.

@silverbella77: Thank you so much for clarifying this!!!!

[silverbella77]

@equusSF You're welcome! I'm a big fan of the Akhal Teke breed. Thanks for posting the video!

The word thoroughbred can also just mean purebred.

[xxibitsuxx]

Beautiful horses. It would be interesting to race a thoroughbred and an akhal teke together, see what happens. Seems like it would be rather like a saluki vs a greyhound.

[DruandSpike]

Thoroughbred is not a class, its a distinct breed, TBs and Akhal Tekes belong to the Hot Blood class.

[TreasureOne]

They're beautiful but I'm confused by your description. I thought these were Akhal Tekes. Why do you say they're Thoroughbreds? They look nothing like TBs.

[equusSF]

@TreasureOne I only meant TB as opposed to Warmblood and Coldblood - they belong to the class of Thoroughbreds!

[TreasureOne]

@equusSF Oh. Thoroughbred is a distinct breed, not a classification.

[nags2bitches]

@TreasureOne LOL thoroughbred means exactly what it says, pure and 'thorough' bred... The modern breed known as 'Thoroughbred' came to be called that because the horses were 'thorough' bred, ie could trace their pedigree.

[TreasureOne]

@nags2bitches LOL back at you. We don't speak Olde Englishe anymore.

[nags2bitches]

@TreasureOne Not Olde Englishe sweety, just normal everyday English, thoroughbred means pure, it doesn't imply a breed. It applys to dog's cat's cattle sheep...Any pure-bred animal is called a thoroughbred. btw whats with the personal comments ? Are they necessarry ? It isn't me teasing the cat, and I don't condone or admire the behaviour, and I don't recall making any personal comment about you, just answering your question ( quote " I'm confused..Why do you say they are thoroughbreds ..." )

[erintubb]

@nags2bitches Perhaps any purebred any USED to be called a thoroughbred, but now that there is a breed that is actually CALLED the thoroughbred, that practice has stopped, at least in most countries. Its kinda funny that thoroughbred means a purebred animal when the thoroughbred breed itself is a cross breed.

[TreasureOne]

@nags2bitches By the way, who are those AWFUL people in the video on your page, teasing that poor caged puma? Nasty. Is that you laughing at him hurling himself at the glass? If only those were bars instead of glass, so he could rip your hands off.

[nags2bitches]

@TreasureOne Apologies to EquusSF for posting this here but I got this weird personal message from TreasureOne who then blocked me from replying,what a freak ! " Is that you and your nasty bf teasing that poor puma? I'm an animal communicator. Dreams of big cats will haunt you, you will have no peace. Nasty, ugly woman, nasty, ugly man who giggles like a girl.
