Standardbred breeder/owner Carlton Chamberlin passed away peacefully on January 13.

Chamberlin graduated from the University of New Hampshire with a Master’s Degree in Education. He taught in schools in the United States and Germany and later worked as a principal.

He was the owner/operator of the Pine Tree Sales Co. in Maine and an avid owner and breeder of Standardbred horses for decades.

He was an active member of the Maine Standardbred Breeders and Owners Association and served on the education committee for their scholarship program. He served as a director, officer and president of the Maine Horse Association and the New England Horsemen Council. He was also a founding member of the American Saddlebred Association of Maine where he served as a director, officer, and president. He was a longtime member of the USTA and a member of the Christian Harness Horsemen’s Association.

He and his brother George owned and operated a successful riding stable in Springvale, Maine for many years. They eventually converted the riding stable and started breeding and racing Standardbreds and continued to do so until 2015.

Chamberlin is survived by his brothers, George and Nelson; sister, Ruth; and many nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews.

Memorial contributions may be made to the Maine Standardbred Breeders and Owners Associations scholarship fund at MSBOA Scholarship Fund, Fran Hanley, 103 Barbara Rd., Randolph, ME 04346.
