Hello! Thought I'd introduce myself (and my standardbred!). My name is Laura, I'm 17 and live in Peterborough. I owned a standardbred named Savvy, and now own a standardbred named King (I bought him late in October last year when I was working at a racebarn). He is 7 years old, but acts more like a yearling. He is a trotter who in convinced he is a pacer, and is 18.2hh (I promise I'm not lieing) with the stubborness of a pony. Yes, he is one messed up animal, and I love him to pieces! I've started a blog about him if anyone is interested. astandardbredasaurusnamedking.blogspot.com/I'm still not really sure what direction we are going. He'd make a fantastic dressage horse but I know little about it (and don't enjoy it that much). I think he'd be a fantastic jumper, so we might head in that direction. He is learning to suck it up when I ask him to go on the trails, because I enjoy them and I pay for his feed . I'd love to try combined driving one day but along with being to large, I can't see the princess doing the marathon. "You want me to get WET?! But Mommyyyyyyy..........." Maybe I will save up and buy a mini for driving instead ;D. He will, however, be forced into western tack one of these days, I don't care how ridiculous it will look! I am passed the denial stage, I can now openly admit I have an addiction to photos. (Not one of our best days) Did I go alittle overboard with the photos?

Hi Laura! He's a lovely boy! Don't worry about the strange addiction to photography...I've got that bug too. It's certainly welcomed around here!
