time of 2:08.36, while

relatively icy 3,678 metre

Wildhaus, Switzerland,
leading the pack im 2:07.92.

thusiasm after his winning

HOLD YOUR horses
was North Vancouver
District council's
answer recently to a
group that wants to use
District land for a

cooperative equestrian
centre.

Council voted to in-
vestigate whether the
group’s horses can be ac-
comodated at the Korral
Riding Academy on Lynn
Valley Road before looking
for land of its own to lease
out.

But some District
aldermen don’t think Korral
will fit the needs of the
people who want to start the
centre.

Aldermen Mary Segal and
Peter Powell told council at
a recent meeting that Korral
is a commercial operation
where horses are boarded,
leaving little scope for
personal care by the horse
owners.

“It's ai different
entirely,” said Segal.

Mayor Don Bell
disagreed. People can do
their own grooming,

Korral if they want to, he
said.

The Districts land agent,
G.A. Williams, says in a
report to council that the
District leases 7.9 acres of
land to Korral at less than
the commercial rate, in turn
for which Korral_ gives
District residents priority.
Therefore, the people who
want to establish the

cooperative centre might
find available space at
Korral.

Stanley Greenfield is one
of the members of the group.
In a letter to Williams, he
says the group needs the
centre to replace’ the
facilities lost when the North
Shore Riding Centre was
disbanded last fall.

Greenfield describes the
group as ‘“‘concerned
parents, whose children
previously had horses on the
North Shore, before the loss
of the North Shore Riding
Centre facilities.”

He says the group is
looking for a pareel of land
that’s near a bus route, away
