Hi Kids!

Willie Win checking in on this beautiful spring day. I'm sure all of you are very excited for the nice weather and being able to play all your favourite summer sports and watch some exciting races at the track on a nice warm night, or maybe a sunny Sunday afternoon. And something else is just around the corner too. Hmmm, what was it again... oh yeah now I remember, SUMMER BREAK!!!

What plans do all of you have for summer? I'd love to hear about them, so shoot me an email at trotkids@standardbredcanada.ca and tell me all about them. You know what I'm really excited about? The World Driving Championship in France. Trevor Henry will be representing Canada this year and his Canadian colours are going to be presented to him next week on May 24th at Western Fair and it would be great to see all of you out there showing your support for Trevor. Don't worry if you can't make it, if you have some inspirational words for Trevor pass them along and I'll be sure to tell him for you.

GO TREVOR GO!!!!




 Until next time!!!

Can-Am Equine Expo

Hi Kids!

Willie Win here, how was your March Break? Mine was great; I went skiing and had a lot of fun. Feel free to send me any stories you want to share about your break. 

Now that you’re back to your regular school days, you must be looking forward to the weekends. Speaking of weekends, do you know what’s happening this weekend? It’s the Can Am Equine event happening from Thursday, March 28 until Sunday, March 31 in Orangeville, ON.

Come and check out all of the cool horse exhibits and see what the show has to offer.

Make sure to visit the EquiMania exhibit in the TROT 4 Kids stable! Stop by and learn all about horses, pick up some cool stuff, play some games and maybe learn a thing or two that you didn’t know before!

For more information, click HERE – remember to check with your parents first.

Until next time,

March Break Fun!

Hey Kids!

I’m back! The weather has been so crazy here that I was snowed in for weeks! When I finally dug myself out I decided it was time to take a vacation to get away from winter. I went to Florida to visit some of my horsey friends that are stabled down there for the winter. It was a much needed break, but I’m glad to be back.

Hey, speaking of vacation, aren’t you all on vacation right now? That’s right, its March Break! How excited are you to be away from school for an entire week?! The mascot gang and I are going skiing this week; I might even learn how to snowboard!

 What are your plans for March break? Here are some fun ideas:

• Go skiing or snowboarding! Don’t know how to? There’s still enough time left of winter for you to learn, it’s not that hard and it’s really fun!
• Did you know that most Zoos are open in the winter? That’s right; you can go to the zoo and visit all sorts of Animals. The Toronto Zoo even has hot chocolate to help you stay warm.
• Go see a movie – now that you don’t have school in the morning, you can go during the week as many times as you want!

Well I hope you have a safe and fun March Break!

Until next time,

Willie Win

Fun at The Royal Winter Fair!

Hey Kids,

Well I had a bit of a break after the home opener at The Raceway at Western Fair on October 12.

I had a great time with Horace, Flamboro Flo and Grandy the Grey.  I even got to meet Greg Blanchard, the track announcer!

This past weekend I went down to the  Royal Winter Fair in Toronto to work at the TROT 4 Kids Stable which is part of the Equimania Exhibit.  I met lots of really great kids and we handed out our 2013 TROT 4 Kids calendar.  I was also able to take in the Super Dogs show and do some early Christmas shopping.

Next I'm off to Nova Scotia to be a guest at the Children's Christmas Party at Truro Raceway!   This is going to be so much fun!

Til next time!

Whirlwind Week!!

Hey Kids,
I just finished a whirlwind week that started at Georgian Downs on September 1 for Xtreme Fan Night
and ended with the Slots Cup at Hiawatha Horse Park on Saturday, September 8!

The Xtreme Mascot Dash was crazy....Sulky Sam, the mascot for Georgian was the winner!   I finished fourth.   There was so much to do at Xtreme.  If you were there, I hope you dropped by the T4K table to decorate a hat.  How about those miniature horse races!   Next year, I'm hoping I can get the catch drive on Jersey Boy!

The weather was wild at Hiawatha for the Slots Cup but that didn't dampen the enthusiasm for the Mascot Race.   Horace from Western Fair managed to get the win with Sarnia's Jackpot taking second place and I was able to get up for third.


The final race in the Mascot Road Show is October 12 at The Raceway at Western Fair District.  I've got some time to do some serious training!  

Xtreme Horse Power!

Hey Kids!

Can you guess what is just around the corner?

That's right, Xtreme Horse Power - FAN NIGHT!

I've been training super hard for the Mascot Race and I feel ready for another win! But I'm even more excited to see all my T4K friends!

I can't wait to see all the miniature ponies and watch all of the other great races, like the Trotting Under Saddle race! Which race is your favourite?

Taylor Trot has been helping out with getting the Kids Activity Center ready and she told me that it is going to be loads of fun! You'll be able to decorate your very own crazy hat to wear around at the track, colour and vote for your favourite mascot! (hint, hint) There is an awesome prize to win, so don't miss out!

Back to the barn I go, need to rest up!

See you Saturday, September 1st at Georgian Downs!
