Riding Description:
Situated in north-eastern Newfoundland, this place lies, literally and figuratively, in the very heart of Newfoundland. Its a natural beauty, boasting forest and coastline in abundance.  Scores of bays, big and small, and dotted with islands, the northeast coast attracts humpback whales and towering icebergs each spring across the Atlantic.
