Boy am I having a blast this off season!

I flew to the east coast of Canada to help out with a few special events out here! It's getting cold here, but I just love being so close to the ocean! The flight was okay, but somehow I got lost temporarily trying to find my way to the track! Luckily, they tracked me down! It was worth it to meet all the great T4K kids out here!

So now I'm in Truro, Nova Scotia, and just helped out with a fantastic event there called the Mildred Williams Ladies Vs Men's Challenge to raise money for cancer survivors! I met some of the amazing ladies on the Survivors on Shortt's Lake Dragon Boat team and hung out in the winner's circle with my horsey friend Dontlooknow!


What a fun weekend I had!

Talk soon!

Halloween was GREAT!

Hey kids!

I hope you had an AMAZING Halloween! I know I did!

My costume party was great! The whole house was decked out for Halloween with spooky spider webs, black cats & bats, and terrifying music! We had green fruit punch, spider cupcakes, and way too much Halloween candy!

Before I went, I even had a chance to give out some Halloween candy to the kids on Taylor Trot's front porch! It was so much fun!

How was your night of trick-or-treating? Did you get lots of delicious treats?

Talk to you soon!!!

Happy Halloween T4K kids!

I can't believe Halloween is finally here! I love seeing all of the creative costumes and going trick-or-treating with Taylor Trot! My favourite treat is apples, so I hope someone is giving them out!

I have finally chosen my Halloween costume, with your help of course!
Stay tuned to find out my final decision and who won the October contest!

Stay safe tonight! Remember to wear something that is easy to see in the dark and to let mom and dad check all your treats before you eat them! Most of all, have fun!

Your friend,

Hallowhinny 2011!

Sometimes being on vacation from racing is just amazing!

Last night, I went to Grand River Raceway for their annual Hallowhinny event! I got all dressed up in my doctor costume and was able to hang out with all the kids without getting stressed out about a big race! It was so much fun! There were witches & construction workers, dragons & cowboys, princesses and butterflies! There was even someone dressed up as my favourite video game character- Mario! Ha ha ha! I loved that one!

There was a voter's station to help me figure out which costume I should wear to my Halloween party! I still have to count all the ballots- I'll let you know which one everyone liked!

Click here to check out the Hallowhinny costume parade!

If you didn't make it this year, definitely mark it on your calendar for next Halloween! Or, should I say, Hallowhinny?!? Ha ha ha!

Talk to you soon everyone!

Sometimes the weather is not my friend!

Hi everyone!

I'm sure you all heard that my last race of the season, scheduled for opening night at Western Fair last Friday, was canceled due to the weather.

I was pumped and ready to go, but the officials indicated that it just wouldn't be safe to race. I'm a little disappointed, but I'm looking forward to a little down time! I think I'm going to sit back, watch some hockey, start my holiday shopping, and relax with Taylor Trot!

Oh! I almost forgot! I received an email the other day from my friend Mackenzie, who sent me a photograph of an amazing pumpkin!! Can you tell whose face is on this Willie-O-Lantern? Oops! Did I just give it away?

Don't forget to enter this month's contests on my website! Click here for more details!

I'll be sure to let you know who wins and what costume I'll be wearing to my Halloween party this year!!!! So excited!

Talk to you soon!

Last Race of the Season!

Hi kids!

I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! What great weather we had hear at the Standardbred Canada stable! Everyone came out and we had Thanksgiving dinner on picnic tables by the barn. One thing I know for sure... I'm definitely thankful for pumpkin pie! Mmmmmm...it's my favourite!


But now I'm gearing up for my last race of the season and I'm so excited! I have been eating healthy (aside from a little pie), exercising regularly and Taylor says I'm racing faster than ever! My confidence is through the roof!

The race is set to take place at Western Fair this Friday night and all of the mascots will be there! It's opening night at Western Fair so you know it's going to be a busy one! PLUS----they are giving out free t-shirts to the first 500 racing fans!

Live Standardbred racing starts at 7:05 PM!

Are you going to come and cheer me on? I could really use your support! Another win would be nice too! Maybe even a t-shirt with my face on it?!? Ha ha ha!

I've got to get back to my training!

See you all on Friday!

Wish me luck!

October!

Hi kids!

Have I ever mentioned that I absolutely love the month of October?

The leaves start to change to beautiful colours, the air is crisp and clean, and... Halloween is on the way!

I just love Halloween! Every year, I spend hours going through my closet trying to come up with the best costume I can find! I've been a ghost, a farmer, and even a pilot!

This year, I'm having a bit of a tough time. I have so many great costume ideas, but I can't seem to decide on one! Maybe you could help me?

I've tried on all of my costumes and taken pictures of them! Here are some of them:

The rest of the costume pictures are in the October edition of Trot4Kids magazine, which you can find by following this link:
http://www.trot4kids.ca/files/t4k_archive/2011/2011-10-t4k.pdf

Take a look and let me know which one you like best! If I end up wearing your pick to my Halloween party, you could win a gift card to the movies!

Email me at trotkids@standardbredcanada.ca!

I'd also love to hear all of your great costume ideas and see photos from your trick-or-treating night! Is anyone dressing up like me?

ha ha ha!

Talk to you soon!!!!
