INDEX
Editorial........................... p. 2 Council Reports............... p. 3 RCMP Reports................. p. 5
Harold was a horseman, dedicated to enhancing the ability of the horse in a six or eight-horse hitch or any work involving the horse. He became known for his abilities and was often asked to show other people’s outfits, and he did so nationally and internationally. He drove teams in field work from age 13, pitching bundles, seeding and summer fallowing. He taught his sisters to drive four-horse outfits so they could haul the grain to town. I addition, Harold held his license to drive Standardbred Horses, working as an exercise man in Dauphin, Manitoba. He also respected the necessity of the horse in opening up the country in pioneer times and taught many children, at local fairs, what horses meant to the province’s history. May Harold’s love of horses and horse traditions be appreciated by future generations. Submitted by Janet Norrie
