Standardbreds are born to walk, trot and canter just like all horses.
The Club's enormously successful retraining video (the leading Pacer retraining method since 2009) that shows you the simple steps in retraining your Standardbred horse from a pacing racing career to a riding horse that can walk, trot and canter without the pacing gait.
The DVD was made primarily for the novice and rider with some riding experience who have adopted or brought home a Standardbred horse from the race track or adoption organization although it will also be useful to instructors and trainers.
Questions we receive quite a bit!
All pacers are branded as a part of their breed registration and as a qualification for pacer racing. The brand looks like a tattoo/freezebrand of numbers and letters on the side of the horse's neck. No two brands are ever the same and the data you can look up provides you with some history on the horse. We help you to identify your adopted Standie's brand and learn more.
Retired Standardbred horses (pacers) from the race track are suited for lots of activities with retraining such as endurance, trail riding, jumping, police work, western riding, English equitation, dressage, pleasure riding, parades, seach & rescue, therapy horses and are quite simply, superb companions. Learn more about the versatile Standardbred Horse.
When the Club launched the first of its kind, a pacer retraining video in 2009, the three former pacing race horses that starred in the video showing the various levels of their retraining had been saved from slaughter after their racing careers had finished. Oliver, Lacey and Kootenay went on to become Stars in the video and as non-riding therapy horses. Fifteen years later, we still receive emails often about what happened to the three horses.
Identifiable by the white marks on her nose and behind her ear

She is dearly missed by her owner who is offering a very high reward for anyone who can lead her to the horse.

Identifiable by her very long ears and she is very herd bound.
This pretty little Standardbred mare is very herd bound. She has no special distinguishing features except for her unusually long ears. The third letter of the freezebrand on her neck is either an L or C. She is very much missed by her owner who is providing a reward for anyone who can find the horse. She was last seen in Surrey, BC and could be anywhere including on the Island.
Please contact the Standardbred Fan Club if you know of this smaller horse's whereabouts. All information is kept strictly confidential. Reward for any tips to the horse's location.
