THE BATTLEFORDS — The Battlefords Quarter Horse Club is sponsoring its annual Terry Fox Trail Ride.
This year’s event will take place Sunday, Sept. 17. Registration is from noon to 1 p.m., with the ride starting at 1 p.m. The trail ride will start at the Jeff/Jess Newman farm, located approximately eight kilometres southwest of Battleford. (Take Highway 40 west from Battleford, turn left on Highway 29 to Wilkie, turn right on Leo Mitchell Road and drive 1.8 kilometres. There will be a field on the left with large round bales near the road.) Signs will be posted.
The ride will be approximately an eight-kilometre, walk-only ride through pastures, bush, fields, sand roads and ditches. Wagons and solo riders are welcome.
A barbecue will follow (around 4 p.m.) If you can’t make the Ride, come for the food sponsored by Sobeys and the Battlefords Quarter Horse Club.
Pledge sheets are available at , or just show up at the ride or barbecue. There is no minimum pledge for the event but donations to the Terry Fox Foundation are appreciated.
This will be the 42nd consecutive year the local horse club has hosted the ride, which has raised over $77,000 for cancer research.
