Grateful for horsemen and horsewomen

They say that "law of attraction" helps you attract people into your fold - well that happened to me today at Cloverdale Mall. I met up with Larry Simpson, Publisher at Ponies247.com as he has an online publication for those who enjoy the standardbred and thoroughbred racing. I am grateful that I know some great horsemen and horsewomen at Woodbine and at Flamborough.

Too many to publish but here are few to start with:

  • First I want to thank the trainers at Woodbine for their hot walker and grooming school: Jamie Attard, RenĂ©e Kierans, Sarah Sullivan and Andrea as well as Dr. C. Reid McClellan. Also, all of the great fellow students of alum 2018 - RESPECT
  • Francine Villeneuve - Trainer and owner of Sport of Queens Racing -- Loved "Callie Liked Her Brew"
  • Mario Williams for being an eccentric but good horsemen by going natural with his horses
  • Kathy Ranford - the equine muscle expert -- love her horse Joy too
  • John Braid - Flamborough - Standardbred Canada - I went on a cool ride with his horse Bob -- what fun and an exhilarating time!
  • Carl and his lovely horse Sophia - another great horseman 
  • John Mattine - letting me massage one of his ponies and helping me understand how much is involved in a barn at Woodbine
  • AAA Racing: Alison and Robert
  • Yannick Hardy -- one of the most underestimated riders
  • Christopher (Chins) Husbands - what a fine gentleman and jockey
  • All of the people in the office and security and kitchen 
  • Charlie -- Farrier at Woodbine -- he is a true artist
  • Off-riders, and so many more....
