To the horsemen came the horses, and these were to be found in rich heritage of the American Thoroughbred. As de Némethy remarked, ‘You don’t need to go abroad to buy horses…’ for in their Thoroughbreds, the Americans had ‘the best for Olympic jumping.’
George explains why:
“First, the physical size and type are right. These are big (sixteen to seventeen hands), light, athletic, refined animals. Second, the mental capacity is usually good. While blood horses are often hot and nervous, they are at the same time extremely sensitive and intelligent, and what’s more important, bold…”
And as George points out, the breed of horse has a lot to do with creating a riding style – the ‘Thoroughbred’ countries tend to ride with the motion, where ‘half-breed countries’ tend to ride deeper and in a driving position.
