Results Updated for 2017 Summer Solstice 34km/21m SSG.

Due to a cut and paste error, results originally posted on June 29 were in error. Thanks go out to the riders who noted the discrepencies between their ride cards and the posted results. Ride management reviewed the results, found the error and submitted corrected results this past weekend.

These new results become official on November 29.

All Breed Awards are opt-in! It’s up to you!.

Members are reminded that it is the owner’s or rider’s responsibility to request that a horse be included in the pertinent Breed Award category. This includes “Best of the Rest”!

OCTRA Rule Book 10.2.1
b) To be eligible for breed awards, a copy of the horses’ registration papers, or Standardbred Canada, TrackIT or USTA Pathway printout, must be submitted by the owner OR the rider, to the Distance Reward Program Chair.

Elaine Steele (lostcreekfarm@sympatico.ca 613-267-2590) is the Distance Reward Program Chair. ALL breed awards are opt-in. If you do not register your horse with Elaine, your horse will not be in the running for this award.

NOTE: The requirement to opt-in your horse includes High Point “Best of the Rest“. Even though many of these horses do not have breed registration documents you must still request they be included for this award. You can check if your horse is on the Best of the Rest list by going to this page…

OCTRA (Members Only) Facebook Group Created.

It has come to the attention of the BOD and many OCTRA members that the website Forum is not being fully utilized due to its complexity.  Moreover, Facebook has become prevalent and is easy to visit and easy to post.

The BOD at it’s last meeting unanimously decided to follow the wishes of many members and create a new MEMBERS-ONLY Facebook Group to replace the Website Forum. Any outstanding discussions will be moved to the new members-only group Facebook page.  Members of this new Facebook Group will indeed need to be active OCTRA members or they will be refused access.

The popular existing OCTRA PUBLIC group page (1,296 members) will remain in tact for all public members to allow encouragement to join OCTRA and see new ride events, etc. As well, the existing  official OCTRA page (439 followers) will be deleted since it is essentially a duplication of the website and is redundant.

This new OCTRA (MEMBERS-ONLY) group page will facilitate our members and allow full private association discussions which can and will be monitored by the appropriate committee chairs.

  • Chrystal Woodhouse – Education Chair
  • Rose Danko – Set Speed Chair
  • Judy Durst – Sanction Chair
  • Nancy Beacon – Endurance Chair

The monitors of the new OCTRA (MEMBERS-ONLY) group page will monitor posts for accuracy and courtesy.  Any bad behavior, rudeness or uncomplimentary comments will be deleted and the poster could be blocked from further use of this private OCTRA forum group page.

We thank you for your patience and consideration during this OCTRA journey of change.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Board of Directors
