The aim of the present work was to analyse the origin of horses classified in the International Federation for Equestrian Sports and to define such factors as breed, age and sex on the results obtained by the specimens competing in the eventing. 1101 sports horses classified in the ranking were analysed. With the use of a single-factor variance analysis statistical characteristics were calculated for the groups of horses made up according to breed, age and sex. It was concluded there were significant differences between the average numbers of points achieved. A significant share of horse breeds intended for show jumping was observed, especially the French, Dutch and German. Anglo-Arab and German horses achieved the best results. Among the horses classified in the eventing, the largest number of offspring was obtained by thoroughbred stallion Heraldik, whereas the best results were achieved by the offspring from stallion Stan the Man, of the same breed. The largest group in terms of sex were geldings (77.42%), which, alike stallions, over-performed mares for the average number of points. The best performance was found for were 13-years old horses (84.4 pts).
