Hall Of Famer Dave Wall, along with last
year’s national driving leader Trevor Henry, showcased the Standardbred breed
in ‘Evolution of the Horse’ extravaganza which took place on both Saturday
evening and Sunday afternoon.
The spectacle demonstrated how the horse
has evolved over time. The two standardbreds, guided by the combined winners of
more than 11,500 harness races, were featured as the Grand Finale of the
one-hour show.
Representatives from the Ontario Harness
Horse Association (OHHA) and Ontario Standardbred Adoption Society (OSAS) were
also on hand all weekend long promoting the vital role of the Standardbred
breed to rural Ontario.
Wall and Henry are both in action this week
at the London oval. Henry, who recently took back over top spot in the local
standings, has been selected to represent Canada at the World Driving
Championships this summer in France.
