Burials At Windfields Farm

A non-exhaustive list of thoroughbred burials at Windfields Farm in Oshawa include:

  • Archers Bay (1995–2002)
  • Canadiana (1950–1971)
  • New Providence (1956–1981)
  • Northern Dancer (1961–1990)

  • Vice Regent (1967–1995)

  • Windfields (1943–1969)

Numerous other lesser-known horses are buried at the separate "Trillium" gravesite located slightly to the north of the core of the farm. The status of this gravesite is in question due to its location which will soon border on residential development taking place on former Windfields Farm property.

Lesser yet known horses were also commonly buried at various other places on the once vast Windfields property, almost all in unmarked graves.

Famous quotes containing the words burials and/or farm:

    Cole’s Hill was the scene of the secret night burials of those who died during the first year of the settlement. Corn was planted over their graves so that the Indians should not know how many of their number had perished.
    —For the State of Massachusetts, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    His farm was “grounds,” and not a farm at all;
    His house among the local sheds and shanties
    Rose like a factor’s at a trading station.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
