Horseback Riding Across Canada

Kimball Foord who is riding his horse from Ontario to British Columbia to promote awareness for the Canadian Therapeutic Riding Association will be travelling through North Bay on Monday the 5th of June instead of today. Kimball and his horse Two Can Cody have been delayed, as Cody needs to be reshod, and have a rest. The pair are relaxing and recuperating at a farm in Corbeil, while awaiting the farrier. It is very important to keep Cody in good shape as the pair have so far completed 800 km., and have a very long walk ahead of them. The trip began on May 6th, and will continue until they make their destination.
