Retrained Standardbred horse in new career.
|
We invite you to view videos of former
racing pacers retrained as riding horses. Many compete
successfully in their 2nd careers too.
All of the pacers that have been retrained will walk, trot and canter without
the pacing gait. If you are interested in learning our retraining method for your own horse, please
see the retraining video information.

If you have adopted one of these delightful horses from a pacing career, retraining is available
for the horse with your involvement (or without, as your schedule permits) either off property or with horse boarding on the Epona stable
property.
