News from the Board


Please be sure to mark your calendars for the Annual General Meeting in Orangeville on April 22, 2012. We have Mark Woodfine, owner of Tack Two Emergency Medical Services and Fire Suppression Inc., as our guest speaker as well as shopping and the all time favourite pot luck lunch.


The OTRA Calendar will be ready for pick up at the AGM. A sneak preview of the rides are, the York Forest for the long weekend in May, July 21, and Oct 20. The Fun D ride will be the long weekend in August at Pine River Ranch near Mansfield. We still have a few tentative rides to confirm.


OTRA will be going to “All About Horses” in Lindsay May 26 & 27 with the booth and new brochures that the board is currently working on.
