Standardbreds represent one of the most versatile breeds. You will see Standardbreds in endurance,
jumping, eventing, dressage, pacing/trotting racing, western riding, police work, drill teams, trail riding and
as adorable pets!
If you have adopted one of these delightful horses from a pacing career, re-training is available
for the horse with your involvement (or without, as your schedule permits).
Joyful Pizazz and family!

Standardbred Re-training, Felicia Allen
Felicia began riding at the age of five when she was accepted into the prestigious Royal Danish Riding Academy for several years of a classical
European riding education (her mother will be the first to tell you
that her daughter rode the Queen of Denmark's horses after some years!)
and further classical riding education when her family later immigrated to Canada.
With over forty years of riding and working with horses - inbetween a university and two time College graduation
education - Felicia's background also comprises
re-training Thoroughbreds from the local racetrack and training horses in general for
individual clients as well as some of the lower mainland's established breeders.
Felicia was introduced to the Standardbred and successfully re-trained her 17.3 hand gelding, Oliver,
into an active jumping career. She has become a specialist in retraining pacers.
Realizing the subtle differences in Standardbred racing re-training versus other breeds
such as the Thoroughbred, Felicia has developed
basic exercises and an approach in an educational video which has become one of the leading videos on Standardbred horse retraining,
Retraining the pacer - Standardbred horse training.
She is also the Founder of the Standardbred Fan Club.
