Known as Trotters or Pacers in the racing world, Standardbreds are the best kept secret to those of us that take them on after their racing days.
Contrary to popular opinion, these horses transform in to wonderful saddle horses who go on to do Eventing, Show Jumping, Dressage, Showing, Endurance, the list is endless.
Standardbreds really are Superstars!

I took this video in the fall of '03 on a trip through Kentucky. The horse (4 y/o when this clip was recorded) is owned by Rodney & Shannon Keene. His sire is the 14x RHBAA World Champion Speed Racking Horse, Hot Patches. I love how Shannon's little girl gets into it!
