Thank You Caretakers! 

National Caretaker Appreciation Day 2022
Published: August 19, 2022 01:15 pm EDT

Standardbred Canada (SC) is excited to announce that National Caretaker Appreciation Day (NCAD) is back and will be held from August 29 to September 4! SC has partnered with racetracks, associations, and industry partners across the country to honour the hard-working caretakers in the industry. 

Caretakers not only go above and beyond to ensure that the horses are both emotionally and physically healthy, but they are also continuously supporting the industry in any way that they can! They are the first person to greet the horse in the morning and the last with them to end the day. They are the ones who make endless sacrifices to ensure that the horse's needs are being met above their own. 

It is now time to show your appreciation and join us in celebrating at 11 of the participating racetracks across the country.

Check out the following video created by Mackenzie Johnson, Standardbred Canada’s Marketing Coordinator / Intern, with contributions from Hailey Saunders to see some of our caretakers in action!

Make sure to keep up with our caretaker appreciation announcements and check out our Faces of Racing features to learn more about the dedicated and hard-working caretakers that we are lucky to have in harness racing.
