The Standardbred Horse Fan Club organizes events for the public to meet rescued horses and conducts
online auctions with services and products to continue the Club's activities.

The Standardbred Horse Fan Club was established in 2004 as a grassroots organization with
the purpose to educate the public about the many talents of the pacer and trotter above and beyond
that of being a race horse.
Fun activities for everyone
More and more, the public is beginning to realize that pacers can be retrained and
many can have promising new careers in almost any riding discipline.

rehomed to a good forever home.
The Club is entirely run on volunteer effort and relies on public donations and sponsors for the Club's intervention
to rescue and rehome former Standardbred harness racing horses (pacers) destined for slaughter as well as its other causes.
Membership to the Club is always free.
The Standardbred Fan Club's aim is to educate the public about the merits of the pacers
as equine companions when they are discarded by the racing industry. We believe that may be the
only hope in this age for the animals.
