Yay standardbreds!!!
i have one from the track and am riding him english
which means trotting :P
for two years we've worked on the trot and we've almost got it down pat :D
and this past summer we've started jumping!

Hi All
Although my profile is my daughter, I adopted our six year old Standardbred mare about two months ago. We have had a few sessions because the weather has been so cold and wet. She has started to trot on cue and it is VERY bumpy and she stumbles alot. If any one has suggestions on training techniques and also wasy to keep a canter, please let me know. I am a novice rider who LOVES this horse and wants to make us a great team. Thanks Chris

Wow, I looked through all these groups and nothing on Standardbreds... Finally there it was... My husband owns several standardbreds which are racing and he is also breeding. I am now involved as one of his horses has been retired, Always On Guard who we/he has owned for over 10 years was retired last year and I am now taking care of him and retraining him to the saddle.. I think he is enjoying it. He is a very hard worker and is doing very well. Our daughter who rides gets on him and rides him as well. She rides him better than I do... Anyway, love the standardbreds and want to help in the education of how flexible horse they are and how they can be used in may areas of riding and pleasure as well as racing..

I have a 6yr old Standardbred trotter whom now is undersaddle.
