dressage rider in Canada Domenico was selected for the Olympic clinics even though he has only been in training since last spring Photo by Mary Ann Hutton A series of unlikely colncl brought some mem bers of the Moscow Circus and their performing animals to the Erin area for two days this week Twelve highly trafned circus horses and their hand lers spent Monday and Tuesday at the farm of Mary and John Thacker on midway between Erin and Caledon Originally all per formers in the world famous circus currently playing at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto were to have moved directly into the Gardens on Monday following their Mon treal performance A rescheduled hockey game at the Toronto facility disrupted the plan and the coincidences which brought the troupe to the Thacker farm began Can Tours organizers on the Canadian side for the Moscow performers weren t told until last Friday that they would be forced to find alternative accommodation for the horses Thus began a frantic search for a near by fociilty which eventually led Can Tours to the Ontario Agricultural Society offices By coincidence Dr B Robb of Alton was visiting the OAS offices and became aware of CanTours plight A former horse breeder himself Dr recalled that at one time he had used the facility to board his own called the Thacker residence and without informing them of the nature of the problem was told bed have to find some other location for his friend s horses The decided more than a year ago to discontinue their horse boarding service Someone else from the OAS office called back and was given the okay after explaining that these any ordinary horses and that all the Thackers had to do was providea facility Everything else would be token care of on a 24hour a day basis As it turned out the barn the Round Barn featured in the new pen and ink drawing publication by Ken Grant was made to measure for its intemat tonally famous guests The horses fit nicely into the ground floor stalls and an abundance of fresh cut hay was on hand from the Thackers own fields from the Enn Advocate Land group OKs 6th Line couples bid Regional Land Division Committee granted a sever ance to a family because the
