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)
- South Ocean (1967–1989)
- 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)
“The shifting islands! who would not be willing that his house should be undermined by such a foe! The inhabitant of an island can tell what currents formed the land which he cultivates; and his earth is still being created or destroyed. There before his door, perchance, still empties the stream which brought down the material of his farm ages before, and is still bringing it down or washing it away,—the graceful, gentle robber!”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
