Standardbred Showcase Horse Show by Jackie McManus

As a professional equine photographer and past competitor, I had almost seen it all, then I saw what the standardbreds could really do. The standardbred only show was held on Sunday, August 2, 2009 at Grand River Raceway in Elora, Ontario and was the 2nd annual horse show organized by the Standardbred Showcase Riding Club. If you have ever noticed how diverse the quarter horse breed look (between the halter horses, traditional stock and more refined performance horses) you ought to take a look at the standardbreds. Aside from the fact that most are bay with minimal white, no two truly look the same. But what does it matter what they look like - LOOK WHAT THEY CAN DO!!
