The Ontario Standardbred Adoption Society today (Tuesday, Jan. 21) presented Tracy Coomber with the award for top point earner with a Standardbred Horse in the Extreme Cowboy events for 2019.

Held at a number of locations across the province last year, the series challenges both horse and rider to maneuver through a number of trail and farm based obstacles while demonstrating both horsemanship and speed.

Tracy and her talented horse Hugo were the 2019 OXC High Point Standardbred team. OSAS sponsors the prize, a lovely belt buckle as well as a jacket, for this category. Tracy and the 18-year-old gelding also took part in several of OSAS’s trail rides last year which exposed retired Standardbreds under saddle to many avid riders.

OSAS encourages owners of Standardbreds to join us on events throughout the year to showcase the versatility of the breed. Upcoming events can be found on the OSAS website and Facebook page.
