| Undated picture — Sunnybrook Stables |
Toronto police officers entered Sunnybrook Park Tuesday to round up several horses on the loose. According to 680 News, from whom this report is taken, a passerby called at around 5:15 a.m. to say he spotted about 20 horses running free in the park. Sunnybrook is home to Sunnybrook Stables Limited, a full scale riding school with stables and other facilities. Apparently some horses had escaped from their paddock in the park and decided to go for a run. 680 News said that a few had wandered up to the cricket field where staff assisted officers in herding them all back into the paddock. There has been horse stables at this location since well before Sunnybrook was a City park. The Stables website tells the history, which is fairly well known locally but still of interest. It was the location of a country estate owned by Joseph Kilgour, an accomplished horseman. Sunnybrook Stables Limited
