I think it is wonderful that you have found another use for him, so annoying hearing "so called horse lovers" spend thousands on a horse when there are thousands of perfectly good horses being slaughtered. Good work he's loveley. I don't own any Standardbreds but most of mine have been rescued, I would surely consider a Standardbred as horse next time I buy.
@beekwine ''So called horse lovers'' ? I'm all for rescuing horses, but not everyone can control the ex racers, rescued green horses... Some spend thousands because they want a bombproof horse. >_< fail.

@beekwine just cause they spend thousands on a horse doesnt mean their so called horse lovers. it means that they really want their horse to be the best it can be so they go out and spend the money to achieve that, now what if that thousand went to a surgery to help save a horse, is that a "so called horse lover"? yes i agree its sad that horses went to slaughter, and i want to be able to go out and but them from the auctions and give them a second chance, but yet, that would costs thousands...
i just rescued a retired standardbred named Just a Reminder!(i changed his name to SINBAD)he is the sweetest horse in the whole world he was never riden befor i got him so i saddled him up hopped on and since then we have been jumping about 1 foot and he is cantering no problem and a 2 year old even rode him i have only been riding him for 5 days!....your horse is gorgeouse i am going to get another one or a few for the rest of my family !!love Standardbreds!!
Great job with him! I too am a Standardbred fan. I have a gelding that I use mostly for pleasure driving and kids ride him now & again. His pasture buddy is also a Stbd who is a riding horse.
Very nice video - thanks for sharing. I have an Standardbred also, he retired from racing and is now 20 years old, fit and healthy and happy! Adopt a Standardbred - they are the BEST!!!!
it's nice to see people prove animal activists wrong.They claim all horse racing people are evil and send them for meat after their racing days are over.Ya this horse is really going for meat.lol. you love your horse to much to give him up. my mare raced for 4-5 years and then we retired her and she's now a broodmare/riding horse. she's livingthe life!and if anything I savedher from her abusive trainer.he'snow dead.I was actually happy when I was told he died after hearing what he did to my mare
was he a good pacer?
