00:00 There are very beautiful horses. These are decorative or show breeds.
00:07 There are very strong horses. These are work or draft horses.
00:15 And there are horses that are very fast.
00:24 And about them, about the fastest, we'll talk in this video.
00:31 In total, more than 350 horse breeds are known, but only a few of them can boast incredible speeds.
00:45 It has been repeatedly proven that the fastest in the world are exclusively Taurubrat horses.
00:53 Taurubrat means purebred, not mixed breed and as close to wild as possible.
00:58 There are three purebred horse breeds in the world. Arabian, Akalteke and English Taurubrat.
01:07 So, the speed of the horse depends on the type of gait.
01:12 Gait is in simple words a pace. There are two types of speed gaits.
01:18 Trotting
01:21 and galloping.
01:23 Since each breed of horse can maintain a speed of movement in the range from 20 to 30 km/h, we will not consider all breeds.
01:46 In this video, we will only look at those horses that beat the average speed of their species and rush forward faster than the wind.
02:15 Among the fastest horses in the world were nine breeds leading in running speed.
02:19 So, the ninth place is occupied by trotters. Trotters are especially strong at the trot.
02:26 They are capable of accelerating up to 52 km/h.
02:30 There are several subspecies of trotters on the planet.
02:40 They are Russian trotter, American trotter standard bred, French trotter and especially unique in appearance - the Orlov trotter.
02:52 All of them are capable of accelerating to 52 km/h.
03:07 The history of trotters began around 1776.
03:10 The eighth place is occupied by the Akhal-Tekhi horse.
03:15 The Akhal-Tekhi horse comes from the harsh desert of the Karakum in Turkmenistan.
03:21 The coat color of this horse is different, but this breed has its own special feature.
03:27 The Akhal-Tekhi breed of horses is especially unique in that this horse can often be found in a metallic golden color.
03:36 It looks incredibly beautiful, as if the horse is not made of bones and muscles, but of gold.
03:42 The Akhal-Tekhi horse is one of the oldest existing breeds, with a history of about 4000 years.
03:52 Like its close relatives, the Arabian horses, the Akhal-Tekhi horse is built for speed...
04:00 ...and can reach an incredible 65 km/h.
04:04 Seventh place is occupied by the Apalusa breed.
04:27 As you have already noticed, this breed of horses stands out for its unusual spotted suit.
04:33 Their coloration is somewhat reminiscent of Dalmatian dogs.
04:39 Surely, evolutionary scientists noticing this similarity would say that the Dalmatians took part in the breeding of the Apalusa.
04:49 But the Dalmatians, thank God, did not take part in breeding these horses.
04:54 The Apalusa breed is about more than just looks and bright coats.
04:59 This is one of the fastest horse breeds to run.
05:03 Apalusa develops speeds up to 69 km/h.
05:14 This breed originated in the Nez Perce tribe of North America, where they were commonly used by the Indians for hunting.
05:21 The Apalusa is now the state horse of Vidaho in the United States.
05:26 Sixth place is taken by the American Pane horse breed.
05:31 Some may think of the colorful Pane horses that they are not the fastest horse breed.
05:38 Maybe.
05:39 But they are more than capable runners.
05:42 Thanks to strong hind legs and strong hooves, they rapidly develop speeds of up to 71 km/h.
05:50 In America, Apalusa is the fastest horse breed to run.
06:05 In America, the Pane horse is recognized as the second most popular purebred breed.
06:12 The American Pane horse is a classic cowboy horse.
06:17 It received such a name not in vain, because once it apparently accidentally landed in the Pane.
06:24 Note to evolutionary scientists.
06:27 Cows did not take part in the breeding of this breed of horses.
06:31 In fifth place runs a thoroughbred English riding horse.
06:40 This breed was bred in England in the 18th century, from where their original name came from - English Racing.
06:51 Enviable playfulness is inherent in all representatives of this purebred breed.
07:00 These horses develop a maximum speed of 77 km/h.
07:04 Of course, they are not the leaders of the highest speed, but their uniqueness lies in the following.
07:14 Their heart size is larger than most breeds.
07:17 If most horses have a heart rate of 60 beats per minute while running, then these horses have 145 beats per minute.
07:28 And this does not affect their well-being.
07:30 Because of this, they are capable to maintain high speed over long distances.
07:36 In fourth place is the Andalusian horse.
07:44 These horses come from the Spanish province of Andalusia.
07:49 The Andalusian is not only fast, but also a beautiful, elegant horse.
07:56 A very thick, luxurious long mane and tail is an undoubted advantage and decoration of Andalusian horses.
08:04 And thanks to a taut, athletic figure, these horses demonstrate amazing speed and endurance.
08:11 Andalusian breed is capable of accelerating up to 80 km/h.
08:22 Andalusians in motion is a completely unique and undoubtedly striking sight.
08:28 In third place on our list is the Mustang.
08:39 In Eurasia and America, there is an animal that is associated with wildness,
08:44 indomitability
08:47 and freedom.
08:52 And it is a Mustang.
08:53 The Mustang is not a wild horse that was previously domesticated.
08:59 The ancestors of Mustangs are the feral horses of the Spanish Conquerors.
09:04 The European colonists set free their horses which were lame,
09:09 and some horses ran away from pastures or were left to fend for themselves.
09:14 And thus the Mustangs appeared.
09:18 They got their name from the Spanish "mesteno" which means "wild", "belonging to no one", "stray animal".
09:25 The main advantages of Mustangs, compared with domestic horses, are speed, endurance and strong immunity.
09:33 These are qualities that animals develop only in the wild.
09:38 The fastest Mustang speed ever recorded is 85 km/h.
09:45 This makes it a very fast horse breed.
09:53 Wild Mustang horses can be of any color.
10:02 Second place went to the American Quarter Horse.
10:11 A horse breed developed in the United States in the 1600s for short distance racing.
10:17 Quarter horses are sprinters.
10:21 They can instantly take off and reach speeds of up to 88 km/h.
10:26 Such an unusual name in English also means "quarter mile stone".
10:40 These are the fastest horses of all horse breeds when it comes to short distances.
10:45 This breed is the most popular in the United States of America.
10:53 The first place is occupied by the Arabian horse.
10:56 This breed is a very popular breed in the United States.
11:00 It is a very fast horse.
11:03 It can reach speeds of up to 80 km/h.
11:06 It is a very fast horse.
11:09 It is a very fast horse.
11:12 It is a very fast horse.
11:15 It is a very fast horse.
11:19 So the first place is occupied by the Arabian horse.
11:22 It is one of the oldest horse breeds in the world.
11:25 These horses have all the trump cards at once.
11:28 They have both speed and endurance.
11:31 Arabian horses are capable of racing at breathtaking speeds, up to 90 km/h.
11:39 And they can maintain this pace for a long time.
11:45 This breed of horse is known for its endurance, which is higher than that of any other horse.
11:50 And some representatives of this breed sometimes even accelerate to 100 km/h.
12:09 If the heart of an English racehorse can withstand 145 beats per minute while running,
12:15 then the heart of Arabian horses can withstand 200 beats per minute.
12:20 Obviously, these animals acquired such skills because of the need to survive in desert conditions.
12:32 The beauty of Arabian horses fascinates and gives a sense of confidence and reliability to the rider.
12:39 Today, the blood of the Arabian horse is found in almost every breed of racehorse.
13:00 Well, dear friends, now you know which breed of horse is the fastest.

13:13 And that's all for today. See you in the next video.
