Who We Are

Founded in 1906, the Canadian Thoroughbred Horse Society (CTHS) was incorporated under the Animal Pedigree Act as the official registry of Thoroughbred horses in Canada . The CTHS (Ontario Division) aims to ensure a viable future for its members by providing assistance and representation within the Thoroughbred breeding Industry.

The objectives and purposes of the CTHS are:

  • To assist and afford a means for the promotion of the interests of those engaged in the breeding of Thoroughbreds, to protect it's members against unbusinesslike methods, to reform abusers, to diffuse information among its members and others, and to secure uniformity in usage and business conditions.

  • To determine the requirements for registration of horses as Thoroughbreds.


  • To promote, encourage and assist in livestock and agricultural exhibitions, fairs and racing and offer prizes in cash or otherwise for such purposes which shall be limited to Thoroughbred competitions or classes.


  • To sponsor, assist and conduct sales of Thoroughbred stock.


  • To compile statistics of the industry. All of these roles are for the purpose of encouraging the ownership and breeding of Thoroughbreds in Canada .

The CTHS is managed by a Board of Directors consisting of 11 Directors elected by members to represent six regions across Canada . Each region is also managed by a Board of 11 Directors.

Both National and Regional boards are subdivided into several committees. An executive committee, made up of the President, 1st Vice President, 2nd Vice President and Past President, is responsible for specific matters as delegated by the Board.

Other committees set up by the elected Board are a Finance Committee, Sales Committee, Thoroughbred Improvement Program Committee, Special Events Committee, Performance Thoroughbred Committee, and Marketing Committee. All committees are set to assist the breeders of Thoroughbreds in Canada .

The CTHS serves as a voice for its members within the Thoroughbred breeding industry. As key issues and problems arise, the Society representatives carry the voice of breeders to those meeting rooms where decisions are made.
