SUFFOLK IS HORSE COUNTRY

 Leila Roche tells how Suffolk horse business is growing  in the SNH  "Suffolk Living" section. I was more than interested because most of her coverage was about HORSESPA, a farm started and owned by one our three daughters, Wendy Parker. If you read it you'll learn that her first move was steel fences dividing many pastures followed by a twenty stall all steel very expensive "barn" with lounge, tack room, feed room, and believes it unfair to keep a  horse in a stall unless it is in poor health.  She was not enjoying her Masters in Nursing at Leigh Memorial Hospital where she was  responsible for operation and staffing of both Critical Care and Intensive Care units. Spurning promotion she spent four years obtaining a law degree at William & Mary. But the outdoors kept humming to her and one day she said to us, "I bought a farm in Chuckatuck". I was allowed to drag the12 foot mower around the pastures and help install  fences  for a year or two while the place filled  up with horses and their deposits. But the place got too modern for  me when they started picking up the poop in the pastures. When you finish Leila's article click on the below email address and check out the many pictures. It is quite a place. Nothing else like it this side of Kentucky.
