SPHO (Standardbred Pleasure Horse Organization) of Ohio is a group of Standardbred enthusiasts in the Buckeye state who get together to enjoy our Standardbreds. We promote the breed off the track and educate people about the versatility of the Standardbred. We are one of several clubs in the US promoting Standardbred versatility, and we welcome members and non-members alike to participate in our events.

"Riding a horse is not a gentle hobby, to be picked up and laid down like a game of solitaire. It is a grand passion. It seizes a person whole and, once it has done so, he will have to accept that his life will be radically changed".
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
