Donna and Midge

Midge was a horse that Donna rode to school. Midge was born in 1928, the same year as Donna. This picture was taken when the 2 of them were 37 years old, in front of the Dolan school. In this picture, Jennie Gay is on Midge and Donna is holding Kathy. The Dolan school had been moved from its original location to the yard of the Myron Berry farm.

Donna and Sequel

Grandma loves horses.  She has been around horses most of her life.  When I was a teenager my parents had sold Grandpa and Grandma a horse names Sugar I, one of their broodmares that they had raised.  They bred the mare to their stud, Beau and got a filly they named Sequel.  Todd bought this filly from Grandpa and Grandma when she was three.  Through the years Grandma has had a special attachment to this mare.  Sequel is now in her twenties and Todd uses her for a vaulting horse in his vaulting club in Cardston, Alberta.  I take Grandma to watch the class every week and she really enjoys seeing her old friend.  We can't leave until Grandma says hi to Sequel.  The Mom of one of the vaulting students took this picture and shared it on the clubs facebook group.  I love this picture and the story behind it.
