Ride for Dreams

Over at Ride for Dreams, you can follow the progress of Kimball Foord, his QH gelding Cody, and Australian Shepherd Cheyenne as they trek across Canada to raise money for CanTRA(Canadian Therapeutic Riding Association). The pair set out from Guelph on May 6, 2006 and as of today they’re in northern Ontario. Interesting that on this CanTRA page Foord says that not all sections of the Trans Canada Trail are open to horses, who have less impact on the environment than mechanized vehicles, yet snowmobiles and ATVs are allowed.

Brigadier

I found this great photo of the late Brigadier over at Sasha’s Legacy Equine Rescue.

Mounted Toronto Police constables Gregory John, left, and Ricard Cooper take their coffee break in the saddle yesterday (Sunday, May 12 2002) at the Tim Hortons shop at Leslie St. at Lakeshore Blvd. E. Their steeds are Brigadier, left, and Spencer.
