“My horse’s name is Rascal. I started riding horses when I was seven. My grandaddy had a horse, but it threw him. That’s how he died. I couldn’t mention the word horse for a couple of years, but I would sneak and ride. My mother finally gave in.
I’m a member of Port City Riding Club. I’ve been riding horses in Mardi Gras parades for about 30 years. This is one of my favorite times of the year. I still get excited, but I’ll probably just do one more Mardi Gras. I turned 77 this year.”
