I do not know much about breeding race horses, but a bit more about
horses bred for jumping and dressage. And there they bring in "foreign"
blood on a regular basis.
Additionally, I do not know about any RULE BASED limitations for horses
that should enter a jumping or dressage contest (other than that it has
to be a horse and not a mule, and that it has to be in a decent state of
health). But obviously the chances of a 144 pony against a 172 horse in
a jumping contest are not equal at best - although there are special
contest that are open only for ponies.

People who breed for show and racing have pretty serious limits on
what they can use. So even if they could produce better horses by
going outside their boundaries, the rules don't let them. Racehorses
have a bunch of congenital medical problems, that some people would
like to breed out, and changes to the rules do get proposed from time
to time.
