The Standarbred is a American horse raised for trotting races; it has been involved in improving the French Trotter. Standardbreds are known for there good attitudes.
The Standardbred Horse is a relatively young breed just over 200 years old. Its origin dates from the England of the late 1700s, and specifically to a horse named "Mambrino." Mambrino had been a legend in 18th century England Trotting races for many years, and was the sire of "Messenger" - an English thoroughbred - credited with becoming the American ancestor of the Standardbred breed.
Thoroughbred blood crossed with the Norfolk Trotter, Hackney, Morgan, and Canadian Pacer resulted in what is now called the Standard-bred. The Standardbred is known for its two distinct racing gaits - trotting or pacing
The Standardbred horse is usually described as robust, rugged, loyal, sensible, level-headed, willing and capable of doing any job asked. Standardbred horses have a reputation for being 'bombproof' and many adoptions off the racetrack find homes as stellar trail horses for famillies. Standardbreds have also been used as police horses for their dependability and stoicism. Standardbreds adapt easily to any riding discipline and show intelligence and willingness. Therefore, you will find them more and more as outstanding horses in many riding styles and all types of competition.
My OTTB that I run barrels on gets three flakes of hay and about 2.5 quarts of grain in the morning and the same at night. Since he is running a lot more than just being ridden around he needs more feed. If you are just going on trail rides with them they don't need as much. The more you run them, the more you feed them.
All horses no matter what breed they are need to be fed between 1% to 3% of their bodyweight a day in food. The bulk of the diet should always be forage such as grass or hay, grain or pellets should only be fed if the horse has a need for them, such as being in moderate or heavier work, a hard keeper, dental issues, pregnant etc. Feeding by the flake and scoop method is incorrect as any equine vet will tell you. You should feed by weight.
