The Standardbred is an American horse breed best known for its ability in harness racing, where members of the breed compete at either a trot or pace.

Developed in North America, the breed can trace its bloodlines to 18th-century England.

A breed registry, also known as a herdbook, studbook or register, in animal husbandry and the hobby of animal fancy, is an official list of animals within a specific breed whose parents are known.

Animals are usually registered by their breeders when they are still young.

The terms studbook and register are also used to refer to lists of male animals "standing at stud", that is, those animals actively breeding, as opposed to every known specimen of that breed.

Such registries usually issue certificates for each recorded animal, called a pedigree, pedigreed animal documentation, or most commonly, an animal's "papers".

Registration papers may consist of a simple certificate or a listing of ancestors in the animal's background, sometimes with a chart showing the lineage.

Harness racing is a form of horse racing in which the horses race at a specific gait (a trot or a pace).

They usually pull a two-wheeled cart called a sulky, although in Europe racing under saddle (trot monté in French) is also conducted.

In administrative law, rule-making is the process that executive and independent agencies use to create, or promulgate, regulations.
