I am going to the Can Am All Breeds Equine Show This Weekend!

Hi Kids!

I am heading out with the Trot 4 Kids team to London, Ontario this weekend for Can Am, Canada’s largest all-breeds Equine show which is taking place at the Western Fair District!

Come on out to hang out with me and the T4K crew at the Equimania Exhibit, a great inter-active and educational display that was featured at the World Equestrian Games! There will be games and prizes and lots of free stuff to give away including activity books, tattoos & bookmarks!

The show also features an incredible trade show, the ‘Canadian Cowgirls,’ educational seminars on all sorts of topics, Hunters and Jumpers, Stallion Avenue, the ever-popular Parade of Breeds, and exciting celebrity guest appearances from the likes of Pan Am Eventing Gold Medalist Jessica Phoenix and Heartland star Sarah Marshall!

You really don’t want to miss it!

The O'Brien Awards and RACE DAY Launch Party!

Hi everyone!

I hope you are all doing well! Happy belated Valentine's Day!

What a great few weeks I've had! The O'Brien Awards were a night to remember! My favourite trotter right now, San Pail, won Older Trotting Horse of the Year and Horse of the Year and I'm just so happy for him! Everyone loves San Pail! And Jody! After the year he has had, he really did deserve Driver of the Year! I'm so glad he won! But, boy oh boy, did Randy Waples and Scott Zeron ever give him a run for his money!

Then, last week, I attended the RACE Day Launch Party! 150 of the best fans showed up to support the documentary, including the Mayor of Milton! I loved the film- what a great showcase of Canadian Harness Racing!

Check out some of the photos from the event!

Talk to you all soon!

Hi everyone!

Have you started your 12 Days of Christmas countdown? I sure have! Only 11 days to go! I hope you have sent your letters to Santa!

In case you were looking for some great holiday things to do to get you in the spirit, check out the Trot 4 Kids website here! I especially like the snow portraits! What a cool idea, and a great treat for your animal friends!

Well, I'm going to go have a short winter's nap now! Taylor bought me a great new winter blanket and it is just so cozy!

Talk to you soon!

Getting ready for the Holidays on the East Coast!

Hi Kids!

It's finally December- one of my favourite months of the whole year! I just love all the smiling faces and holiday lights and, of course, the promise of snow! Boy do I love the snow!

The December Trot 4 Kids magazine is coming out soon! It's a great 16 page edition with lots of great winter activities, gift ideas and an amazing story about Taylor and I! Make sure to check it out and let me know what you think!

I've spent a few weeks now in Truro, Nova Scotia and just wrapped up my visit helping out with Truro Raceway's annual Kid's Christmas Party! It was so much fun! I even got a ride in a carriage from a miniature horse!


I do love it here-- so close to the ocean and the fresh air, but I'll be heading back home to see Taylor tomorrow! It's always nice to come home no matter where my travels take me!

Let's cross our fingers for some snow!

Your friend,

Willie Win

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,

Willie Win
