We know from experience that anyone interested in Standardbred racing and breeding has many questions and concerns. This publication provides basic advice and information for new horse owners or anyone contemplating purchasing a harness horse. The best investment you can make before entering this business is your time. Investigate thoroughly, ask questions, read the trade publications and web sites, attend owner workshops available, and make calls to the various organizations. Owning a Standardbred can be one of the most exhilarating and unique investments you can make but it is also very high risk. There are a nurnber of ways to become involved as an owner and they include everything from buying a horse by yourself to owning a small percentage of a horse with a group of friends. Harness racing allows the opportunity for families to be involved and visiting the stable can be a social outing. Owners can also have the chance to be “hands on” and work at the stable or learn to jog a horse.

These first people hunted, fished and gathered raw resources to be processed into tools and other useful materials. By the time the first fur trade forts were established in the district in 1795, the Cree had named this area Otinow (a place where everyone came). However, First Nations may have used this area well before this European contact. About 12,000 years ago the study area was under a large lake, with a vast area surrounding it.

  • “We Will Remember Them” WESTERN FAIR DISTRICT the RACEWAY ENTRIES TRACK ABBREVIATIONS Speed Abbr
    Named Races Information BATTLE OF THE ATLANTIC Sept 1939 to May 1945, Canadian Dead over 2,000 The Battle of the Atlantic has been called the "longest, largest, and most complex" naval battle in history. The campaign started immediately after the European War began, during the so-called "Phoney War", and lasted six years, until the German Surrender in May 1945. It involved thousands of ships in more than 100 convoy battles and perhaps 1,000 single-ship encounters, in a theatre covering millions of square miles of ocean. The situation changed constantly, with one side or the other gaining advantage, as participating countries surrendered, joined and even changed sides in the war, and as new weapons, tactics, counter-measures and equipment were developed by both sides. The Allies gradually gained the upper hand, overcoming German surface raiders by the end of 1942 and defeating the U-boats by mid-1943, though losses due to U-boats continued until the war's end. D-DAY: Code name Operation Overlord - Canadian Dead 946 Juno or Juno Beach was one of five beaches of the Allied invasion of German-occupied France in the Normandy landings on 6 June 1944 during the Second World War. The beach spanned from Courseulles, a village just east of the British beach Gold, to Saint-Aubin-sur-Mer, and just west of the British beach Sword. Taking Juno was the responsibility of the Canadian Army, with sea transport, mine sweeping, and a naval bombardment force provided by the Royal Canadian Navy and the British Royal Navy as well as elements from the Free French, Norwegian, and other Allied navies.
