The Standardbred Fan Club's founder, Felicia Allen, wanted to bring to light the beauty of the Standardbred horses and the many talents that the breed has after a racing career. Felicia felt that way too many Standardbreds end up in the slaughter houses because people generally assume that a "pacer can't canter", or cannot move on to any other careers than trail riding.

One of the goals of the club is to set up a Standardbred re-training center - a place where teenagers and people interested in the breed could work with the horses, re-training and starting the horses into new riding careers. One of the roadblocks for the pacing racing horses is that they are not rideable off the track and young people in particular, would be welcome to work with the horses at the Center and even compete in recognized shows - show off their wonderful horse!

The Standardbred Fan Club is not a non-profit club - Felicia does not want to deplete the already substandard funding available to the Standardbred adoption societies. But ofcourse, she would be grateful for donations to the club and has a wishlist too!



If you have a web site, we would appreciate the Standardbred Fan Club logo anywhere it could be squeezed in!
