Because nothing beats a good TB .
They move like nothing like silk being pulled through water .
They have ten canter gears .
They look divine .
Because a good one is such fun to train .
Because you can out gallop the rest of the field at the hounds .
They are so versatile .
Sure they might be the best horse to go to war on but then who wants to go to war .
The ultimate pro horse that's the TB .
Absolutely!
I recall about 15 years ago using a TB (belonging to someone else) he was an ex eventer unraced (he had a sensible head actually) as an escort hack (yes; I know!) at a yard I worked at. I still have vivid memories of us all having a 'little canter' up a stubble field, and I went through about 8 canter gears, slipped into an effortless gentle gallop and raked up the hill - I couldn't (wouldn't) stop him, not at all because he was in any way unstoppable. It was just pure heaven!!! He was gorgeous.
I don't have a TB - but I would consider a good one for sure!
But have a Part bred Trak (TB of the WB world!)
