American Standardbred

Until registries are in place the Breeding Communities forum will be for players to work together towards creating or improving their favourite breeds.
Forum rules
Each breed may have only one topic. The first post in the topic is to be informative. It should help explain the breed, and breeding goals; advice on how to select mares and stallions; and links to ideal Stallions available for breeding.
Keeping a directory of breeders working on the same goal is also helpful.
All new threads must be approved.

American Standardbred
The American Standardbred was developed in the 17th century and became an official horse breed in 1879.The Standardbred can trace bloodlines back to the Narragansett Pacer, Canadian Pacer, Thoroughbred, Morgan, Hackney and Norfolk trotter. The Standardbred can preform a gait called the pace. The pace is a two beat lateral gait ; pacers' forelegs move in unison with the hindlegs on the same side. The Standardbred is commonly used in trotting and pacing races, since the average Standardbred can pace a mile under two minutes. Standardbreds are heavier and longer than Thoroughbreds and has been seen as being more easy going than Thoroughbreds.
