Terry Fox struggled through the worst weather conditions Canada has to offer — wind, snow, sleet and heat. 

The horseback riders of the Battlefords area were not so brave in 2018. The snowy and cold conditions on Sept. 22 dissuaded many from attending the annual Terry Fox Ride at Hidden Meadows Ranch. 

Twelve brave souls ventured out for a good cause. Games on horseback were played in the indoor arena, including spoon and egg races, musical chairs for horses and slow walking contests.

A total of $580 was raised for the Terry Fox Foundation, which brings the total contributions of the horse community to nearly $75,000 over the 37 years of the ride.

Hidden Meadows Ranch and Deb Flegel for provided the facility and Sobeys for donated food for the barbecue. Thank you to all the participants who braved the weather and ended up having a lot of fun while raising money for cancer research.
