www.ontariotrailriders.ca Our annual Fun-d-ride, July 5 -7, will be held in the Dufferin Forest and is being hosted by Elaine Wiesner and Sonja Wyss.
It is OTRA’s only fundraiser. Donate your unwanted tack and horsey items. You won’t want to miss this ride. Always guaranteed to be a “fun” time! If you are anything like me you have been following our snowbirds on Facebook all winter. I am happy to report that Yvonne
Taylor and Stewart Dunkley were in South Carolina late April and heading north. We sure hope that they are back home for OTRA’s first ride May 10-12 in Dufferin Forest. I can’t wait to hit the trails this year on, River, my new horse. She is a six year old blue roan. Thank you Jen Jonas for finding
her and Kathleen Oakley for selling River to me. Helmut and Smokey, “rest up.” lol
