Top: Sports: Equestrian: Breeds: Standardbred

The name "Standardbred" originated because the early trotters (pacers would not come into favor until much later) were required to reach a certain standard for the mile distance in order to be registered as part of the new breed. The mile is still the standard distance covered in nearly every harness race.

Associations

Open to all associations and clubs that promote the use of the Standardbred horse in the equestrian riding and driving sports.
