These funds will be used to purchase equipment, insurance and other necessities for the continuous oper- ation of horseback rid- ing for the handicapped youngsters. Many, many volunteers includ- ing the St. John Ambul- ance, the Police and radio operators all worked together to ensure the well-run 25 kilometer ride. Parents prepared and served each rider a cold turkey dinner upon arrival back to Hoskin Stables. Congratulations to all involved for such a successful event.
