Writer Steve Buffery has profiled Chaplain Ken Carter and the ‘Stable of Horses That God Loves’ in an extensive piece for the Toronto Sun.

It was announced last month that the owners of some of the best Standardbred in racing have come together for the 2015 racing season to implement the ‘Stable of Horses That God Loves,’ a major fundraising program for the Standardbred Racetrack Chaplaincy of Canada.

The initiative calls for participants to donate a small percentage of the purse earnings of one (or two) of their horses to the Chaplaincy via the Stable of Horses That God Loves. As the initial announcement for the endeavour explains, the program is designed as a fundraiser for the Chaplaincy, but also to provide a good news story for the sport on a continuing basis throughout the entire racing season.

The good-news story has already hit a mainstream media outlet, as Buffery’s piece delves into the ‘stable,’ Chaplain Carter, and the tireless work of the Standardbred Racetrack Chaplaincy of Canada.

The Sun article explains how the stable came to be and shines light on Chaplain Carter’s honourable work in support of the members of the racing industry.

It was announced last month that Dan Patch winner Shake It Cerry would be part of the stable for 2015, and it was announced this past weekend that top pacer Luck Be Withyou would also be part of the initiative for 2015.
