Standardbred Pacers & Trotters

[lee1984]

Yes - not many people here know too much about standardbred racing here. I had my tb on a standardbred farm (avoid 'barn drama' that way) and know a number of people in the standardbred racing industry at home.

lee - if you are looking at importing a standarbred, make sure you are up to date on the current situation especially in Ontario. With the Ontario government potentially ruling out any slots at racetracks, the whole racing industry is up in arms. May be quite a few for sale quite cheap. It's unfortunate you can't get it through OSAS (Ontario Standardbred Adoption Society) as they must come out to inspect your barn (and I doubt they will come out to the UK!)

I'm opening up the criteria for the article, they needn't have raced! I just want to showcase the breed and their versatility. Perhaps breeders/owners of horses who won't make it to the track won't be so quick to send them for slaughter if they realised there was another market for them! So please do feel free to contact me if you've got some photos and info about what you do with your Standardbred

I'll send you a PM shortly
