Standardbred

America’s harness racing horse, the Standardbred was so named because the animals met a time “standard” for the mile. They race as trotters (diagonal 2-beat gait) or pacers, also known as “sidewheelers” (lateral gait). Pacers are more efficient, reaching a higher top speed. Standardbreds can make excellent saddle horses with nearly limitless stamina. The registry dates back to 1871.
