The Ontario Standardbred Adoption Society was well represented at last Sunday’s Saddles & Spirits Gourmet Ride. A total of eight Standardbreds participated in the event hosted by the Hamilton Hunt Club. The harness horses and their riders who participated included Lets Leavem who is racing at Grand River Raceway tomorrow evening. He was ridden by his owner and RUS rider Sarah Town.
Also participating was Emma Christoforou aboard OSAS ambassador The Painted Pony. Debi O’Brien-Moran rode Calamar who many fans know from OSAS’s Drive With Us program at Grand River and Mohawk Raceways. Tracey Coomber rode Hugo, Mary Mark guided Grin And Boo It, Crystal Vanroekel was on Lone Elm Ernest, Jessica Street rode Cameo Morley and Marina Allan had Clear Xample on the course.
Everyone was very impressed with the event which saw pit stops along the route to sample different ciders and beers and was followed by a lovely gourmet lunch paired with three different wines.
