This site is designed to help match horses and people.
The Standardbred is one of the most populous breeds in North America, but, outside harness racing, is barely known. He is the "Rodney Dangerfield" of the horse world - he "gets no respect". The reality is he is an extremely versatile horse.
He can compete in any sport - dressage,endurance, combined driving and 3-day eventing, jumping or reining - and excels as a working horse in movies, police work, pulling a plow or cannon, and rounding up cattle. The cowboys of the 19th century loved them and so will you.

We'll continue to update the site This site will not tell you everything you need to know about Standardbreds, but together with our links and agencies, will get you
started on the road to owning (or being owned by) a Standardbred. You will not
find pictures or descriptions of available horses here. To learn why -- and
the financial realities of horse rescue -- read our
disclaimer. Go through the Adoption Agencies page to find a horse. This page will be updated shortly.
This site will also lead you into the world of horse abuse.
Find out where the non-rescued horses go. You can read all about
it in the Hall of Shame below. You can also read a well-thought-out article by the world-renowned veterinarian, Dr. Robert Miller. It was originally published in Cowboy Magazine, Fall 2006. To learn more about Dr. Miller, I encourage you to visit his website www.robertmiller.com.
