The registry for Trottingbred Horses.
This site was last updated: October 15, 2012
Harness racing ponies developed in to small horses by crossing the strong and tenacious Welsh, Hackney, or Shetland to the full Standardbred for their speed. The cross created a very versatile horse willing to do anything asked of it. In 1977 the Trottingbred officially became a recognized breed of horse by the American Horse Council. Today they are still primarily used for harness racing and only registered Trottingbreds and Standardbreds can be used for breeding.About the breed
