All English Thoroughbreds can be traced back to three Arab stallions born between 1680 and 1724. Other breeds are often crossed with English Thoroughbreds to make them more elegant.

In the past, however, only solid-coloured animals could be registered in the studbook. But Paint horses were so popular that just two decades later they were recognised as a breed in their own right.
