Dutch and Thoroughbred Breeds


Horse and Pony Encyclopedia: By: Sandy Ransford
Chapter, Warmbloods, Hotbloods

  • Dutch Warmblood-Show Jumper
  • Thoroughbred-Stamina, Show Jumper
  • Holsteiner- Show Jumper
  • Hanoverian- Popular for Dressage
  • Certain horses are bred for certain things
  • Ethnicity of many horses
  • What to look for when you are buying a horse
     In this Book(book/article, etc.), Sandy Ransford (author) explains (claims/argues/explains), that Dutch Warm Bloods and Thouroughbreds are the main breeds known to be the best for jumpers. (identify author’s argument/purpose).
    One reason/fact/example that supports this main idea is the reason that they have the ability to obtain stamina in order to go around the course.  Another reason/fact/example that supports this main idea is that they way that these two horses are built helps they excel at show jumping and doing hunters.  Finally, the author gives the reason/fact/example that because of where they were originally bred it is what they have evolved to do well in to support the main idea.
    These ideas are connected (connected/similar) to my life because I do jumping as my type of riding and the main horses at my barn are Dutch Warmbloods and Thoroughbreds. (something you learned or experienced previously) _
