Come along and see Ken Anderson do a presentation on the importance of groundwork and benefits of the Frank Bell 7 Step Safety System, at 9-10.30am Sunday 19 February 2012, at the Standie-Tana event in Rochedale, Queensland.

The Standie-Tana is an educational weekend, being held 18-19 February, put on by AFTER (Association For Trotters Exiting Racing). The event is dedicated to the care, re-training and education of Standardbreds as pleasure and performance horses.

This will be an open event, with all Standardbred lovers welcome and will cater for fence-sitters as well as horses and riders.

What is AFTER?

AFTER is a not-for-profit volunteer group and is for anyone who loves Standardbreds, wants a Standardbred or has a Standardbred.

AFTER was formed by a small group of people who wanted to focus on the Standardbred Adoption Program, which was started by Caroline Jeffs almost ten years ago. In that time almost 250 Standardbreds have been rehomed through the program.

AFTER provides support for Standardbred owners via instruction days, training seminars and the contact details for trainers and riding instructors who are “Standardbred friendly”.

AFTER holds social activities, competitions, shows and other events for its members. However, their main focus will always be on the Adoption Program and education and support for Standardbred owners.

The Association for Trotters Exiting Racing (AFTER) is a not-for-profit volunteer organisation dedicated to promoting this gentle breed as a genuine saddle horse to ensure they have a life after racing.

In addition to the Standie-Tana and other events, AFTER will be holding a 2012 State Standardbred Dressage Series, that will run as three separate competitions over three different dates at various locations. The State Champion for each level will be decided by the total score for each horse over the series.  Follow link below to find out more.
