I have yet to meet a mean standardbred, surely that must be a testament to the way they are treated by their racing owners. They are such gentle and forgiving animals. I am sure that there are some horror stories, but aren't there horror…

Gracie is our awesome blossom. So gentle and sweet. Although not as refined and delicate as our thoroughbred, she is the one we gush over. Everyone loves her as she is such a ham. I will always own a standardbred.

Debra, while your comments are - i feel - somewhat justified in a few cases, albeit very few cases, the number of cases of abuse which I have seen in the racing of Standardbreds during my 20+ years involvement within the sport are nil. You have…

Fair enough, I don't need to tell the truth in this forum, so I won't bother again with it. And while there are some good stb horsemen, they are far and few between, and hiding your head in the sand won't change the…

I r eally dont think this is the correct forum for this discussion. we are trying to give these beautiful animals a use after racing which we succeed at. There is abuse in all disciplines good eggs with bad apples.....for us we give life after…

Wow, I don't know what to say.

ps. sorry for the spelling errors, I've been up all night, and my typing is horrible right now! lol

years later that the same guy dragged a horse when it was exhausted and laid down to the point where it's hide was mostly off, then beat it, then put a hose with running water down it's throat, then shot it in the head with a gun to finish…

Hi
That is one reason they are put there, but at least in stbs, they do nothing to protect horses, but for window dressing. Myself and others have called on truly disturbing cases, and we were only castigated for it. Not openly I might…

I hate to put my nose into this as well, but I thought the racing commission was there to protect horses from this type of abuse? I guess nobody called the SPCA. As a guardian, I have heard some horrible stories. I guess it is not just STBs. Lots of…

the rest of my story...
the winter hit and he started to tie up, so we laid him off, then we had to work ont that, we intend to bring him back this spring. We are breaking him to ride, and he is doing great, we hope that this will help him to…

Hi Mary-Joe,
It is a story-book type of life I have lived with my two stbs, there is never a dull moment with either. Anyone that supports these horses in any fashion has my vote of confidence, so good on you for looking out for them…
Mary-Joe Figueira commented on ShannanLaing's group 'Standardbreds Horse Lovers'
That is some story Debra. I am a guardian for OSAS and I am very impressed with STB. I think they are a lovely breed and have nice dispositions. If I had a place of my own I would get a couple of them.

Hi
If you don't mind me asking how did you become involved in stbs, and what involvement do you have now, (do you ride, train, race etc.)? I'm glad that people are starting to show an interest in these horses, and are looking at them with a more 'fair' eye to their capablities.
take care
