of the endurance team - a great complement to Valerie Kanavy’s Clinic. The business portion

Training Centre with over 300 stalls. 1/2 mile track, paddocks and walker. Located in Campbellville just minutes from the 401 and Mohawk Race Track or a short drive to Flamboro Downs, this property has tremendous upside potential to a good manager operator! Once one of the premiere farms in the area, poor management has forced this sale. A great location, superb facilities, high income potential makes this opportunity a real money maker for the right operator. Asking $1,799.00. Call Don.
would not be complete without the social side of the weekend which starts with the Meet ‘n Greet Cocktail Hour in our ven- dor area. This will be fol- lowed by our Banquet Buffet - a time to relax and regale neighbours with fascinating war sto- ries, past glories and future dreams. For those new to the sport this will be the perfect opportunity to find experienced mem- bers to answer at least a few of the unending list of questions we all have when we are inspired to become one of the lucky ones who call this sport their own. As desserts are fin- ished and participants
enjoy another cup of cof- fee or a favourite bever- age we will celebrate the season past and applaud those who have achieved some of their objectives and dreams during the 2015 Rides. The Awards Ceremo-
ny is our chance to applaud each other for goals reached and for those we are still endeav- oring to attain. The evening will wrap up with music, dancing and con- versation. But the week- end is not yet over … Valerie’s clinic will
continue Sunday morning and the Vendors will still be open and available for business. As well OCTRA participants can join up in the hotel’s restaurant to enjoy the à la carte breakfast or their Sunday Buffet. So book the date on
your calendar, brave whatever weather this Canadian winter decides to throw our way and come together to cele- brate the one passion we all share – the horse. And always remember the uni- versal endurance motto: To finish is to win
