1985, age 22, Bentley finally convinced me that he REALLY didn’t want to be an event horse [Reverse Epiphany]. Sent him to a sales barn where they turned him into a hunter and sold him.
1986, age 23, bought second horse.
1988, age 25, frustrated with ongoing foot issues, I allowed a trainer to talk me into letting her take Jeepers to a sale, where she told me she found him a good retirement home. I am an idiot.
1989, age 26, bought Caesar, aka Previous Horse. [In Defense]
1991, age 28, Greg bought Mathilda. Brought horses to backyard. Experienced steep horsemanship learning curve. Kissed vacations good-bye. Wouldn’t have it any other way.

Horses
Bucky
Horses of Riverdale (?) Day Camp
Horses of Fire Place Lodge

Milestones
As a horse-crazy kid in Manhattan, I used to buy knicknacks from Miller’s & Kaufman’s. I could not afford, nor did I need, bridles or brushes, so I bought oddments, e.g. a pair of driving goggles, a measuring tape.

The true center is in the middle of the woods, so this is as close as one gets. Taken Sunday, February 21, 2016, on the way home from the Georgia banquet [ASHAG Awards 2015].

The monument is on the side of the road in front of a church. All these folks arriving, dressed in their Sunday finest, and I’m lying in the grass taking pictures of a sign. #poortiming.
