Retraining The Pacer ~ A Standardbred horse training video

A video produced by the Standardbred Fan Club that shows you the five simple steps in re-training
your Standardbred horse from a pace racing career to a riding horse.

The video includes the initial ground work (teaching voice association), lunging work (developing bending muscles, developing the trot and teaching the canter), preparation for the first ride, initial riding work and exercise, developing the trot and canter work.

Three Standardbreds at different levels of training illustrate the various training methods used at each level to develop a fully trained riding horse.

An overview of the equipment used for pacing and the pacing training is also included for a better understanding of the sport and re-training requirements.

The Standardbred Fan Club is for anyone who loves the breed!
The Standardbred posseses integrity and a strong work ethic no matter what the task


The beauty of Standarbreds - apart from their outer and inner beauty ofcourse! - is the incredible versatility that Standardbreds possess. You will see them in dressage, jumping, eventing, western, equitation, trotters, pacers, endurance, parades, police work, search and rescue work ... and as adorable, reliable, trustworthy and noble pets (or as we prefer to say, extended family!).


Standardbreds are Winners often too! The Standardbred Fan Club is comprised of people who have Standardbreds, are interested in the breed, want to make friends with other Standardbred owners or fans, and anyone from anywhere in the world! At present, the Club runs out of Epona Stable located in British Columbia, Canada.
