Standardbred Canada
Standardbred Canada supports the Standardbred breed and the persons who breed, own and race Standardbred horses through:
a) The registration and identification of Standardbred horses and keeping of pedigrees;
b) The maintenance, preservation and dissemination of records regarding the breeding and racing of Standardbred horses;
c) Providing a platform for communication that creates interest, awareness and support for the Standardbred Industry.

What Standardbred Canada members are saying about our courses:
“I didn’t know what to expect when I signed up for this course. Having been around standardbred racehorses most of my life I thought I knew a great deal about this subject but I was surprised there was so much more to learn. I highly recommend taking this course.”
Frank Reid – Standardbred Owner (Lasalle, ON)
Student – Racehorse Respiratory Health
“Thank you for providing this course! My husband is a 3rd generation full-time Standardbred trainer and was pretty much born and raised at the race track. We thought he knew everything there was to know based on the generations of knowledge he had in his head. By the end of the first day of the course, we were already discussing possible new strategies and techniques. By the end of the 3rd week, we realized how little we actually knew and are now implementing many new methods to lessen the chances of colic happening at the track and at the farm. All trainers should be asked to take this course before they can be certified.”
