It s a big family. We all have a common love of the animal.
Colleen Haining, who serves as project manager of the Alberta Standardbred Horse Association (ASHA), is tasked with representing Alberta horsepeople and promoting harness racing to a growing audience. As far as Haining is concerned, the family-oriented nature of the harness racing industry and the docile temperament of Standardbreds are major selling points toward growing the game. [Harness racing] is very family friendly, she said in a recent profile published in the spring edition of
Alberta Bits, which is published by the Alberta Equestrian Federation. There s no charge to park at a racetrack; there s no charge to come and watch the horses . We like to promote Come and meet the horses, because there s a lot of city people who never get to touch a horse.
