The trainer with the most wins was Fred Sadler of Parkhill. • The -top three trainers for the ' racing season were Art Hodgins, „Johnny Muir, Seaforth and Ron Swartz, • Cen- tralia. Horse. coolers, blankets, jackets, toques and halters were presented to the top 10 Late fall is a time of the year when' the out- doors is often neglected. The leaves have ail fallen, so there is no picturesque bla7e of color to pull people out. It's generally cold (or at least feels cold since we haven't yet acclimatized from* the summer), but there is no snow on the ground to prompt us to dig out the cross country skiis. In Spite of all its shortcomings, it is still an in- vigorating starkly attractive and informative time of year to be afield. This is the time of year when it is probably the easiest to learn the most about wildlife with the -least-possible effort. Sure -Ws ea-sier to fo-1•low-the track made by a rabbit in a fluffy coating of freshly fallen snow, but that same snow also alters patterns of behavior dramatically so you may only he seeing the lifestyle exposed by a hungry predator consciou,s creature. Before that snow falls, however, life in the forests is • dif- ferent. For the most part, animals are still on the same- basic range„ that they use during the summer months. Those individuals which hibernate are getting ready (and probably take short naps on dirty days), but are still out and about. Animals, such as deer, which migrate to traditional wintering yards, are starting to move towards them, but the headlong push has not yet begun. As long as there is open water around, some ducks and geese are reluctant to leave and with the vegetation down and dying, they are easier to see. It is surprising how many tracks you can find in the earth;' etc., if you just start looking. A few short weeks ago, a deer's passing would be almost obscured by the light, crisp windblown leaves on the' forest floor. Now, however, with the ground moistened a bit and the leaves soft and wet, that same track would stand out like a neon Tight. Any patch of ground you come across that is soft enough to hold a print will usually contain the mark of something, he it a coon, sgt;dirrel, or skunk. Wildlife itself is easier to spot at this time of year as there is no leafy screen to hide behind. Rabbits that previously would hay e moved quietly out of your way under cover now rely more on remaining absolutely motionles ' to remain hidden. Deer and grouse will behave the same way while something like a fox abandons stealth for speed, a pattern he will follow throughout the winter. A lot of birds have headed south, but the ones that remain seem unafraid and are easy to view. The woodpecker you only heard last summer can be spotted giving a dead stub a good workover and jays seetn to appear everywhere It's a good time for taking photographs of your favorite bird as well. Some species of animals are extremely active at this period. Squirrels especially seem to be scurrying about all day stor;ng those last few nuts and seeds that can make the difference between a comfortable winter and a lean one. Beaver as well do last minute repairs to their dams and ledges, and if those are in good order, they'll add a few more sticks to their stockpile which will soon be under ice. Muskrats start balling up grass, digging tunnels up the banks to their food supply and generally just organizing themselves for the beginning of freeze up when their pushups may he the only source of air available while s arching for food. If you've always missed this flurry of activity, just because it was "too cold to go out", you've missed a lot. Take a walk now, before the, snow arrives, and you'll be surprised at just how much is going on. trainers by Master Feeds and. Cooks Feed Mill, Hensall.
