Founders of the Standardbred

Founders of the Standardbred
By WorldClassTrotting.com

Here's a contribute to all the different families that took part in develop the standardbred. In the beginning there was no standard type of breed that could be called the American trotter, the trotters were in no sense a breed. But there were a group of horse families with one thing in common, their ability to trot.
Hambletonian 10 has been called the ancestor of the standardbred but he alone did not contribute to the development and the influences of the other families are important even though they do not exist today.

Här är ett bidrag till alla de olika familjer som deltog i att utveckla travet. I början fanns det ingen standard typ av ras som skulle kunna kallas den amerikanska travaren var hingstar på intet sätt en ras. Men det fanns en grupp av häst familjer med en sak gemensamt, deras förmåga att trava. Hambletonian 10 har kallats anfader till travarna men bara han inte bidrog till utvecklingen och inte påverkas av de andra familjerna är viktiga även om de inte existerar idag
