The Standardbred is an American breed developed for the sport of harness racing. But just like their Thoroughbred ancestors, these horses can go on to successful second careers as riding horses after they leave the racetrack. In fact, BHA is home to at least two retired standardbred racehorses, Thieving Magpie and Millibanks Sniper!

Standardbreds are classified as trotters or pacers depending on the gait they use for races. Bred initially from horses that could trot one mile in a standard time, the American Standardbred is now the fastest trotting breed in the world.

Our barn cat, Karl has gone missing and was last seen either late Friday night (June 14th) or Saturday late afternoon (June 15th) at our equestrian center in Burnaby Lake Regional Park. He is a very very friendly neutered male. If you have seen him please message us or email us any information. He is missed by many at our stables.

Thank you

Did you know we love hosting local youth groups such as Scouts, Girl Guides and Embers to attend our facility for an organized workshop? On Thursday evening we welcomed 26 members of the Burnaby Scouts to learn about horse anatomy, safety, grooming and care of horses as well as play some tricks with our resident trickster horse, Splatt. There were plenty of giggles and smiles all around and the horses enjoyed the extra love and attention. Do you have a Burnaby Youth Group interested in organizing a workshop with us? Email us at [email protected] to inquire

About yesterday… We were so happy to welcome Mayor Hurley, Councillor Sav Dhaliwal, Councillor James Wang and Councillor Richard Lee to our 2024 Spring Open House where well over a thousand members of the community gathered to hear Mayor Hurley speak and play a quick game of ball with our resident Mare Splatt
The City of Burnaby has had a relationship with our organization since 1967 and we hope to continue our relationship for many more decades

About yesterday… lets take a moment to acknowledge our Volunteers , both two legged and four for their hard work and dedication yesterday spending hours keeping the public smiling at our 2024 Spring Open House. We had over 1000 members of the public in attendance arriving hours before our event started 😮 the kindness and curiosity of the public this year was amazing and our volunteers knocked it out of the park representing our organization. These are only a few photos to capture just a handful of volunteers. Those not captured, your hard work was not unrecognized :)
