Courtesy of your Waterloo Public Library researchers:

Did you know Waterloo was once home to a horse racing track?

The namesake for Home Park Boulevard was the Home Park Race Track, a horse racing track located at the terminus of the first Home Park addition, a rectangle bounded by Kimball Ave. in the East, Reber Ave. in the North, Clough St. in the West, and Campbell Ave. and W 4th St. in the south.

The race track was finished in 1899, and it included a clubhouse, outbuildings, a grandstand, and a dirt track. After its completion in 1899, The Waterloo Daily Courier published a sketch of the track from an aerial view with the title “Waterloo’s New Driving Park”, writing that it occupied a “handsome stretch of ground containing some forty acres” (“Waterloo’s New Driving Park”).

The track was demolished ten years later in 1909 because, as it was put in a Courier article from 1928, “Residences Pay Profits Where Horses Did Not.” This second residential addition comprises the blocks from Clough St. to Fletcher Ave. as bounded by Campbell Ave. and Reber Ave. (“Home Park Addition Once Race Track; Now Heart of West Side”).

15 Fascinating Facts About the Horse's Heart and Its Emotional Connection with Humans:

The heart of an average adult horse weighs about 4–5 kg — nearly 10 times heavier than a human heart.

A horse's resting heart rate is around 28–40 beats per minute, but it can rise up to 240 during stress or intense activity.

The horse's heart is incredibly powerful — it can pump over 60 liters of blood per minute during running.

Human emotions can affect a horse's heart rate. Studies show that horses "read" human moods and mirror them.

During calm interaction, the heart rates of the human and horse can synchronize — a phenomenon known as bioelectrical resonance.

Horses sense a person's presence even before physical contact — their heart reacts to energy changes nearby.

A horse's heart generates a strong electromagnetic field, capable of transmitting emotional signals to other horses and even people.

Horses have a highly developed parasympathetic system, allowing them to calm down quickly in a safe environment.

A handler’s anxiety or fear can trigger stress in the horse — even if no real threat is present.

During cuddling or quiet companionship, a horse’s heartbeat slows down — a clear sign of trust.

Young horses experience emotional “storms” more frequently — much like humans, their hearts and nervous systems are still developing.

Trauma can leave an "emotional imprint" on a horse's heartbeat, even long after physical recovery.

Horses have the ability for emotional healing — kind and caring human contact can stabilize their heartbeat.

The horse’s heart is often seen as a symbol of deep intuition — horses can "feel" intentions before a word is spoken.

Scientific studies confirm that the emotional bond between human and horse is not a myth — it's a real physiological interaction of hearts, which can even have healing effects.
