Word is leaking out about the secret talents of the Standardbred-check out the November issue of Horse Canada Magazine article on them.

Wow! More Standies! I adopted my first Standardbred last Feb from Greener Pastures (then in Abbottsford, now in Langely) and I couldn't be happier with him. His trot work is coming along beautifully and his canter/hand gallop are emproving with every session. As for being steady on roads and trails, I trust him more as a 4 year old than I every did my 17 year old Appy. I do have one little issue I'm trying to work out with him now however. He gets empatient when in a horse trailor or stall and will start to kick if he isn't getting out of there quite as quickly as he thinks he should. If I had my own trailor I would just put him in and leave him in for a few hours but I don't. Plus I board him, so it's other people's property he could end up damaging. Not to mention it's just down right bad manners.
Any suggestions out there?
