If you are considering owning a horse, then you should prepare your home for riding by cleaning and organizing all the areas where the horse will be living, including the stables, barn and paddocks. You'll also need to bring along a wide variety of supplies, including hay, water buckets and feed bags, horseshoes, sunscreen and insect repellent.

When it comes to choosing a pacer horse, remember that they are not just fast runners - they are also very sensitive creatures who require gentle care. Choose a horse that is well-mannered and has a good temperament. Also keep in mind that pacers can be quite expensive to buy and maintain, so make sure you have enough money saved up before you commit to buying one.

Karen McCleave Toronto grew up with standardbred (pacers) racehorses, so she understands the excitement that comes along with owning them: “They are beautiful, perceptive and sentient companions, whose presence in your life can heighten your senses and make you feel like you're on top of the world.”

Before you bring a pacer into your home, it is important to prepare it in the same way as you would prepare any other type of horse. This means ensuring that they have enough room to move around , good feed and water access, and plenty of hay. Furthermore, you'll need to have all the necessary equipment ready, including horseshoes, a lead rope, saddles and packs for mounting and dismounting. And last but not least, be sure to get training from a qualified professional!
