Officials with Sharpe Farm Supplies recently presented a cheque for over $15,000 to the trainers that were affected by the tragic barn fire at Classy Lane Training Centre, in Puslinch, Ont.
On March 10, owner Paul Sharpe presented trainers Ben Wallace, Chantal Mitchell, Chris Dicenzo, Roger Mayotte, Dan Lagace, and Floyd Amos with the cheque.
Sharpe raised the money in just two short months.
“Sharpe Farm Supplies, along with the support of several of our suppliers, was excited to donate a percentage of all horse feed sold between January 1 and February 29,” Sharpe Farm Supplies stated via release.
“We want to wish all of the trainers the very best as they rebuild their lives,” the company release states. “We thank you all for your years of loyalty and devotion to the industry, and we look forward to seeing you back in the winner’s circle.”
