Agreed Stanndardbreds are lovely solid minded creatures..used to interval
training.....
a small observation though...

they do have a tendency to be a bit longer in the back because remember they
are bred for speed in harness ; along with this anomaly is the tendency for
many of them to be higher in the rear than in the withers.. a very famous
horse many years ago was higher in the rump than in the withers which led to
breeders assuming that this conformational flaw? was indicative of future speed.
