This week and last week we have been getting our current selection of Standardbreds ridden and photographed. I have one new “war horse” which I will be posting today named “Big Time Macho”. He gets the record here as the horse with the most starts. He raced over 400 times!!! What a special horse and one deserving a great home!
We had a very successful weekend at the Michigan Horse Expo last weekend. It was so rewarding to hear the many stories of people so happy with their Standardbreds. They make such nice riding horses for families and turn in to the type of horse that almost anyone can get along with and enjoy.
Both Dot and I have a very nice selection of Standardbreds that have all been ridden and most are ready to go down the trail. A few of them are also suitable for pleasure driving as well. This is another very nice attribute of the Standardbred. Majority have been driven at least for one year. This means they were driving at least 2-3 miles a day, 6 days a week, 12 months out of the year. That type of training is really hard to put a price on! Anyone at all interested in driving should consider a Standardbred!!
