The STA accreditation window is now Closed. 

The Standardbred Transition Alliance (STA) welcomes applications from groups of any size, in any part of the country, that are assisting Standardbreds. This process is intended to ensure horses are given care and training commensurate with their needs and that organizations caring for them follow sound, sustainable business practices. 

To that end, accreditation involves a close review of areas pertaining to both equine care and business standards.
