Expertise

I am knowledgeable regarding Standardbred race horses (trotters and pacers). I can answer general questions, questions regarding conformation, rigging, lameness and some shoeing questions.

Experience in the area

I raced standardbreds (primarily trotters) for 9 years on the Grand Circuit and in overnight events for approximately 15 years.

What do you like about this subject?

"There's something about the outside of a horse that's good for the inside of a man"

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

I would like to get another horse good enough for the Grand Circuit

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

It's not as easy as it looks.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

The vast majority of people involved in (harness) horse racing are honest hard working people without chemistry degrees!
