INDUSTRY
STEPS UP TO ASSIST HHYF TRUCK CAMPAIGN
All facets of the harness
industry have answered an appeal by the Harness Horse Youth Foundation
(HHYF) to help fund the purchase of a much needed pick-up truck.
The truck is used to transport horses, equipment and teaching materials
for the Harness Racing Youth League summer camp program.
"I don't know which
makes me prouder - the diligent efforts of our hardworking trustees
or the unbelievable support given by the entire industry," said
Callie Davies-Gooch, President of HHYF. "This truck represents many
things, not the least of which is that the industry recognizes the
importance of our work. This is the first significant asset to be
owned by HHYF and will take the entire program to a new level. It
is so gratifying."
Those people and organizations
who have contributed include: Brittany Farms Stallion Management,
Steiner Stock Farm, Brittany Farms, Haygard Equine Medical Institute,
Hanover Shoe Farms, Rodney Mitchell, Kentuckiana Farms, Blair Burgess
Stable, Erv Miller Stable, Odds On Racing, Blue Chip Farms, Jeff
Gural, Lindy Farms, Preferred Equine Marketing, Walker Standardbreds,
Cottonwood Farm, Embroidery Unlimited, Freedom Hill Farm, Southern
Oaks Training Center, Sterlingbrook Farm, Woodland Run Equine Veterinary
Facility, Big Dee, Bluestone Farm, Holly Lane Farm, Josh Green Stable,
Jerry's Paving & Excavating, R. Wayne Pryor, and Midland Acres.
Tim Pinske provided invaluable in expertise selecting the most suitable
model and Jim Taylor of Troy Ford generously provided assistance
in placing the final order. View

Anticipated delivery
for the new truck is early May. HHYF is still accepting donations
for both the truck and for sponsorship of the Trottingbreds used
in the program.
Established in 1976,
the Harness Horse Youth Foundation addresses youth education throughout
the United States and Canada. A charitable organization, the HHYF
continues to enlarge and improve its programs. For more information
