On Feb. 18, the Standardbred Pleasure Horse organization of New Jersey celebrated the horses and exhibitors that had achieved points performing in all disciplines of horse showing and events in 2023.

Many Standardbreds were out showing in open competitions against all breed horses and the banquet had a record breaking 136 attendees from states near and far.

A very lavish raffle table was offered and special awards were handed out throughout the evening.

A very special thank you goes out to The Standardbred Retirement Foundation who donated gift bags for everyone attending.

The board of SPHO-NJ wants to thank everyone involved in making this event so special, especially all our industry sponsors for their continued generous donations.

The SPHO-NJ is a 501(3)C non profit organization and relies solely on donations.

The overall high point horse in 2023 was Fox Valley Photog, owned my MMXX Standardbreds and the overall high point exhibitor was Lily Kirin on her mount Don Dinero.
