The Standardbred Association Queensland Inc. (SAQ) promotes the Standardbred as a successful & versatile horse that can excel in many disciplines outside their traditional role of harness racing. Through shows and organised displays, we spotlight the abilities and temperament of the Standardbred. We aim to be an association with a common interest: To promote contact between Standardbred owners, regardless of the discipline their horse/s are involved in.

What else does the SAQ do?

The SAQ has many goals and ideas for the future. We aim to grow our association, and continue to build relationships and rapport with trainers, members, the equine industry and the general public, to allow us to promote Standardbreds as great harness race horses and riding horses.

Here are just some of things we currently offer SAQ members:

*The SAQ Horse Adoption Program

*Sponsorship of Breed classes at Agricultural Shows

*Annual Standardbred State Show (open only to Standardbreds)

*Organised displays at race meets

*Seminars and information days for our members to attend

*Organised Trail Rides, weekend trips, and other social events

*The SAQ is well established with QLD show societies and agricultural societies as the governing association for registration of pleasure and performance Standardbreds

*The SAQ continues to provide a vehicle for all Standardbred owners to meet and communicate with each other

*The SAQ is actively seeking new opportunities and ventures to further promote the temperament and versatility of the Standardbred.
