About Standardbred Riding Group (SRG)

About Us

The Standardbred Riding Group (SRG) was founded in 2006 by a group of Standardbred enthusiasts who wanted to showcase the abilities of these horses beyond the racetrack. Over the years, SRG has grown into a vibrant, close-knit community that is dedicated to promoting the versatility of Standardbred horses in various HRCAV equestrian disciplines, including dressage, working equitation, show jumping, and trail navigation.

We are a versatile group and love to support our members with other disciplines and activities, such as endurance, casual trail riding, and other interesting options as we come across them. SRG has something for everyone!
