The Ontario Standardbred Adoption Society
"The Ontario Standardbred Adoption Society (OSAS) is an approved charitable organization, founded in 1996 to assist in the adoption
and relocation of retired and non-racing Standardbred horses within Ontario. OSAS is operated by its own Board of Directors, and is
funded in part through fundraising, by some horse industry organizations and by private donations. Our program helps to educate and
assist in the retraining and management of the horses. We match the desires and the abilities of each adoptive family to the
temperament and capabilities of the horse. Our follow-up on each horse after adoption adds to the strength of this worthwhile program.
Volunteers and temporary foster homes are invaluable to the success of our program, and we are always looking for more help."

Ontario Harness Horse Association
"An interested group of owners, trainers, and drivers of Standardbred horses formed the Ontario Harness Horse Association in 1961. The
purpose of the Association was to represent Ontario harness horsemen/horsewomen in negotiations of purses, racing conditions, and all matters
affecting the industry as a whole with the tracks, Standardbred Canada, the Ontario Racing Commission, and the Provincial and Federal
governments. When it became apparent that the idea of such an Association was practical and useful, an application was made to the Provincial
Secretary to incorporate the Association. On the first, (1st) day of February 1962, a Charter was issued in the name of ONTARIO HARNESS
HORSEMEN'S ASSOCIATION. The main objectives of the Association as set out in the Charter are to encourage, improve, and promote the
breeding, and racing of trotting and pacing horses. The incorporating members and first directors of the Association as shown on the Letters
Patent were Leslie Ehrlick, Hugh Thomas McConkey, and James Harold Holmes. On January 19, 1992 an application was made and approved by
the provincial secretary to have the name Ontario Harness Horsemen's Association changed to the Ontario Harness Horse Association."
