(Assuming this question contained a typo, it has been corrected from 'What is a stranded bred?' to 'What is a Standardbred?') Also known as the American Standardbred, this horse was originally developed in America from several different breeds including the Thoroughbred, the Hackney and the Morgan. It was bred specifically as a harness racing horse with 2 types, (the trotter and the pacer), however, the breed has also shown finesse in other events. Because of its athleticism, the Standardbred is commonly seen in hunter/jumper events as well as dressage. The name Standardbred comes from the 1800's because back then, the horse had to be able to trot a mile within the standard time of 2 minutes and 30 seconds in order to be registered as an American Standardbred. Today, they are able to trot even faster. The Standardbred closely resembles the Thoroughbred but is normally a little heavier and more muscled with slightly longer bodies than the Thoroughbred. The American Standardbred is not to be confused with the American Saddlebred, a different registered breed.
It varies with the parents, but you will get a more solidly built, colored standardbred.
The breed is an American breed. people raced their trotters and pacers and bred for speed. Eventually any horse that could trot or pace at or faster than the "standard" was eligible to be entered in to the Standardbred registry.
