The Standardbred is an American breed developed for the sport of harness racing. But just like their Thoroughbred ancestors, these horses can go on to successful second careers as riding horses after they leave the racetrack. Standardbreds are classified as trotters or pacers depending on the gait they use for races. Bred initially from horses that could trot one mile in a standard time, the American Standardbred is now the fastest trotting breed in the world. Influential breeds that contributed to the development of the Standardbred include the Thoroughbred, Canadian Pacer, Norfolk Trotter, Hackney, and Morgan.
While Standardbreds share bloodlines with Thoroughbreds, the breed has developed unique characteristics that allow these horses to excel in their sport and beyond. These differences are most apparent in their conformation and temperament. The average Standardbred is shorter but slightly heavier than most Thoroughbreds, with a height range of 14.2 to 16.3 hands. These horses have longer bodies with narrower chests, sloping shoulders, muscled hindquarters, and medium to long necks. The ideal Standardbred has a refined head, a straight profile, and large nostrils. More muscular, shorter legs and higher haunches produce long, balanced trotting strides at high speeds. Standardbreds can be any colour, but bay and brown are the most common. Other colors found in Standardbreds include black, chestnut, grey, and roan.
Standardbreds have calmer dispositions than Thoroughbreds, thanks to the influence of other breeds in their development and the fact they receive much more formal daily exercise than Thoroughbreds. This makes them more suitable for all levels of riders after they are appropriately re-trained. Most of these horses are also naturally people-oriented, friendly, and eager to please. Any behavioral problems in Standardbreds often stem from poor handling or underlying health problems.
