The BC Standardbred Horse Adoption Society is dedicated to changing the lives of horses by retraining and finding loving homes for retired Standardbred Racehorses.
Greener Pastures is a registered non-profit charitable organization and has been in operation since 2003. The horses are donated by the racing owners who wish to have them placed in caring recreational homes.
The Standardbred is an ideal recreational horse with a calm disposition,sensible mind and a friendly outlook!
Does anyone know where I can find off the track Standardbreds? Not seeing many under the age of 15 on the internet. Are there rescues out there? I’d like to find a gelding between 5-10 years old, trotter, not pacer.

Pacific Northwest standardbreds: https://www.facebook.com/139894092724138 Greener Pastures - BC Standardbred Horse Adoption Society. They are located in Langely, BC, just outside of Vancouver, and an easy 90 minute drive from my house (I live in Washington State). Anyone interested in heading up there, give me a shout, I'd love to tag along!
