Hanover Shoe Farms bred 3 Breeder's Crown Champions, Spencer Hanover in the 2-year-old Colt and Geldings Trot, Meshuggah, who set a Stake record in the 3-year-old Colt and Geldings Trot, and Ervin Hanover, who capped off the Breeder's Crown with the fastest mile ever paced in Canada in the Open Pace!

Videos
Our latest 30-second television ad helps build our brand and enhance our image, while spotlighting Pennsylvania’s place atop North America’s Standardbred breeding industry.
Produced and directed by Keystone Films, it airs nationally on FanDuel TV as well as during broadcasts such as the Hambletonian, on CBS Sports Network. It is also distributed – both broadcast and digitally – throughout the Harrisburg DMA (TV market).
We engaged Keystone Films to produce this video, highlighting the continuing strength of Pennsylvania's Standardbred breeding industry.
Location shoots took place at Hanover Shoe Farms, Diamond Creek Farm, and Vieux Carre Farms.
It is being distributed through our social media channels, and being broadcast on regionally-televised harness racing programs, such as "PA Harness Week."
Diamond Creek Farm in Wellsville, PA held its annual Open House on June 1, 2024. Keystone Films was once again on-site to document hundreds of folks enjoying a fun-filled day while also learning about the day-to-day operations at one of the world's top standardbred breeding farms, Diamond Creek!
