Notes from Dorian
The first of many (I hope) writings as inspired by "Dorian", a registered Thoroughbred who spent 6 years on the track and the following 8 years being shuffled from stable to stable to stable. He now resides at PENZANCE where he will remain for the rest of his life. He is a great horse - wise and gentle with much teachings to share - if we only listen.
