Equine Guelph has donated a breeding to Mister Big, the richest stallion in harness racing, to the Ontario Standardbred Adoption Society’s stallion auction which starts today and runs until February 27.

The proceeds of the Mister Big breeding will go to Equine Guelph which will in turn donate a course to OSAS to use as an auction item.

The annual stallion auction which raises money to assist in the placement of retired Standardbreds in the province is one of the major fundraisers for OSAS thanks to the generosity and support of many stallion owners and farms.
