Hi Dorita--middle name Peer--neat name. I will enjoy your comments for sure. Lorraine

Ms. Peer-Kozak, I was formerly "Daniels". My father changed his name from Danielovitch--yes pure Ukrainian. In the 30's amd 40's foreigners had a hard time getting jobs so many changed their names --I should have been Lorraine Danielovitch-MacDonald. What do you think? L

Oh, I dunno. Lorraine DanielovitchhyphenMacdonald has a certain, uh, ring to it! We have come far in terms of tolerance. Anyway, I don't use the hyphen: it's too hoity toity. But I like names that carry something forward from the past, the way men sometimes are called by their mothers' maiden names: Taylor Caldwell, Hunter Thompson, etc. Cool.

I need a picture for my page. The only one I have on file is of Odin, and you know that story already. Happy riding! D.

That was a Hannoverian gelding I used to own Dorita. He was a lovely boy! The picture was taken in our sand ring at Caydon Farm.

It would be great to hear from Barnmice visitors about their favorite ever horse, and why. Doesn't have to be your own horse. So, write a paragraph.
