The fastest horses are thouroughbreds. Thouroghbreds are the horses that are used in races like the Kentucky Derby. Another very fast horse is the Quarter Horse. The Quarter Horse got its name because early settelers used to race them along 1/4 mile track. Every horse is fast but some are simply faster than others.

The fastest racehorse in the world was Junior Meyers, who died sometime in the 1980s. He still holds the world record for fastest racehorse of all time. His owner,(still alive), George Simons, is a current resident of Colwich, Kansas. Mr. Simons is 86 years old, and has an entire room just for Junior Meyers' trophies. Although Junior Meyers is no longer with us, we continue to keep his spirit alive by training his many colts as we trained him.

The fastest thoroughbred, however was Secretariat. He still holds track records in all three Triple Crown races.

Quarter Horses are fastest for sprints. Thoroughbreds are best for farther distances. Arabians are best for endurance racing, but that isn't necessarily speed.

Quarter horses are the fastest horse over short distances. They are able to run a quarter of a mile faster than any horse. However, thoroughbreds are the fastest horses over long distances.
