The Horses

	"Skip Wil" Scarlet Skipper x Witty's Charmer x Airliner Foaled 3/17/82 Tatoo A1933    Registered Standardbred chestnut gelding, raced as a pacer throughout New England until retirement age, at which time my late husband Ken and I purchased him to be Ken's pleasure driving horse.   Ken passed away suddenly in October 2005, and Skip remains in my care and is a constant companion for my Morgan gelding, Donnie.
	"Carlyle Dapper Don" Carlyle Control x Carlyle Vandetta Morgan gelding, registered with the Archival Morgan Record. Foaled April 15, 1990. He comes from a long line of World Champion Morgan horses.   There is only one word to accurately describe Donnie's personality - "character".  He is the master of fun, there is no trick  that I have ever tried to teach him that he hasn't learned - and remembered!  On a serious note, he jumps, has basic schooling in dressage, rides western and neck reins, but his real forte is driving.  He loves to drive, and it shows!
	Donnie is teaching his Aunt Lisa how to do a slalom course of cones!  Lisa didn't signal Donnie soon enough and he is off course - or was it his idea?
	Well, it looks like our the team is back on track.  Donnie decided that he had better show Aunt Lisa how it is done.  Anything for a piece of chocolata cake!
