Mom bred her close friend's Connemara pony to a New England Connemara stud resulting in a very pretty (and later quite a good jumper) Connemara pony we nicknamed "April" because she was born at our place in April of 1966. Mom trained her well and was very fond of her, repurchasing her to spend her last days where she was born.

The earlier picture is of Doris when she was at Sweet Briar College in 1941 on "Joe". She rode with her roommate and best friend for life Jessie Strahman through the beautiful countryside of VA.
