In the begining....... As a hobbyist Harness Racing Trainer in Australia, I had the dilema of retiring from racing a friendly, cheeky Standardbred named "Wizza". He deserved a home - which I wasn't able to provide.
Living in a remote location at the time, I decided to tackle and learn the set up of a web page, put his details and photo on it and before long a home was found for him. ;D
The website started to grow, and I realised the need for more information and promotion of the Standardbred in a role outside of racing. Also of my passion, Harness Racing in Australia & New Zealand.
As the website grew, I had moved interstate and taken on other roles which limited the time available to spend on the website - thus this forum is introduced to help fill that need. An exchange of ideas, thoughts, problems & hopefully some solutions. And also, just a place to hang out with people just like yourself - who all share a common interest - the Standardbred.
Word of Mouth is a wonderful thing - USE it. Let's all help to proudly promote the Standardbred.
