The detail
The American harness racer, bred to trot or pace at speed in front of a sulky. Off the track, Standardbreds are known for calm, sensible minds and make steady trail and driving horses.
What to weigh
Ex-racers usually need retraining to canter under saddle, and pacers can take months to learn to trot. Old track injuries are common, so a thorough vet exam matters.
