The event will feature a delicious bbq dinner, live entertainment, DJ, live and silent auctions, cash bar, 50/50 draw and much more; all for the wonderful cause of providing our thoroughbred racehorses with the retirement they truly deserve after their racing days are over.


A special appearance by a Shania Twain tribute artist, courtesy of Holly- wood Heaven, will be sure to bring everyone to their feet and keep them dancing


the whole night through! Tickets are $56.50

The LongRun pro- gram aims to create com- patible matches between human and equine to ensure a safe and happy

Truck and Horse Trailer Overturn in Ditch


Fire fighters and police were called to the site after a driver to lost control of his pickup truck while pulling a horse trailer and 4 horses. The vehicle rolled into the ditch and overturned when their tire blew-out at about 7 pm on the evening of Wed Sept. 1st. The driver and passenger were a 55-year-old man and a 41-year-old woman.

Fortunately, all four horses survived. One had escaped but was found nearby while the others were rescued from the trailer by emergency personnel. Speed and alcohol are not considered to be factors at this time, RCMP said, and police are still investigating.
