The Chaplain
I’m Ken Carter. I have been happily married to my wife Karen coming up to 58 years (she should get a medal for that). We have 2 boys and 1 girl long with 3 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren. We presently live in Grand Valley ON.
I have been in the horse business for most of my life. As a teenager, I galloped thoroughbreds before school, worked alongside my father with show horses while growing up. I have trained and driven harness horses. Then I became a blacksmith at Mohawk Raceway in 1967. I had been a blacksmith for 30 years prior to entering the ministry. I came to the Lord in the early 80’s. So I have been at the track both as a believer and as a non-believer.

This has been a tremendous challenge in many ways but the blessings far outweigh the difficulties. To see God transform a broken life or even just put a smile on someone’s face makes it all worthwhile.
