My family boarded our horse at Mr. Sangster's place when I was around 5. I always remember his kindness to a horse crazed tot, helping me feed handfulls of grass to his beauties, Tinkerbell and Socks. He made it a wonderful, safe place to visit as a kid. - Posted by: Raisa Stone (Neighbour) on: Jan 20, 2018
