Horses who died in fire are named in note from Sunnybrook

by  • 

A coach from Sunnybrook Stables posted a note on Facebook expressing gratitude for the community’s support and grief over the loss of their cherished horses. In the note, the deceased horses are named. We found photos of ten out of the sixteen horses who died in the fire on the Sunnybrook Stables website and have posted them here. If you have photos or memories to share, we encourage you to share them on our Facebook page.  Our hearts go out to the equestrian community as we all mourn the loss of these gentle souls.  The note reads,

As many of you will have heard Sunnybrook Stables caught fire early this morning.  We are deeply grateful to Toronto Fire and to the Toronto Mounted Unit for their help.  Their efforts resulted in the successful evacuation of the back barn and all horses in that barn are safe.  They are currently housed at the Horse Palace.  All have been checked by our vet and are well.

On behalf of all of us at The Riding Academy and at Sunnybrook Stables, I want to thank everyone who took the time to reach out, come down, send condolences, and for the many thoughtful offers of assistance.  Our Sunnybrook and Horse Palace herds are cherished member of our family, and it is with incredible sadness that we mourn the loss of Mr. T, Beau, Sutherland, Sandy, Sampson, Axel, Sugar, Blossom, Poomba, Hercules, Apollo, Phoenix, Marty Misty, Tess and Gifford.  These horses were wonderful teachers and friends, the best of the best.  We loved them dearly, and we are beyond devastated.  They are forever in our hearts.

High winds and downed trees bring power outages to GTA

by  • 

As many as 100,000 customers across Toronto were without power Friday night as a result of the surprisingly damaging afternoon wind storm.  A large outage eoccurred in near East York across the Don Valley. The blackout stretched from Danforth across Mortimer Ave up to parts of O’Connor Drive. Toronto Hydro appealed for patience as it worked to restore electricity. Former CTV reporter Naomi Parness tweeted a picture of shingled and social media saw dozens of photos of fallen trees. Caution is still urged around downed power lines. Toronto Hydro suggests drivers stay at least 10 metres back (length of a school bus) to be safe.
