Our History

A Legacy of Ohio Harness Racing

The Ohio Harness Horsemen’s Association (OHHA) is the only non-profit association serving Ohio’s Standardbred horse owners, breeders, trainers, drivers, and fans who participate in the sport of harness racing.

The OHHA was established in 1953. The mission of the Ohio Harness Horsemen’s Association is to preserve, protect, promote, and serve the entire Standardbred industry in Ohio and beyond.

The Association maintains on-track representatives at each of the extended pari-mutuel racetracks in Ohio, Northfield Park Racino, Miami Valley Gaming, Eldorado Scioto Downs, and Hollywood Gaming at Dayton Raceway. The OHHA oversees 22 of the Buckeye State’s 67 racing fairs with the Ohio Fair Racing Conference. The Association provides three regional coordinators to service individuals and fair boards at those 22 racing fairs.
