MILLIS MEETS THE VINEYARD LADIES!
On Thursday, August 25th, two of the miniature horses featured in the book, LAURIE AND HER VINEYARD LADIES , written by Lee DeVitt, made quite a hit at the Millis Public Library. More than 200 children, accompanied by adults, spent the morning feeding and brushing and genuinely admiring these two miniature horses.
Members of the Mini Whinnies 4-H Club, located at Crescent Ridge Dairy in Sharon, Massachusetts, were on hand to demonstrate how to care for the horses, and Daisy even showed off a few jumps! The horses can be identified by their halters—in the photos, Daisy is wearing a brown halter, and Maisy is sporting the blue halter.
We also want to thank Cindy Innes, leader of the Minnie Whinnies 4-H Club of Sharon, and the club members, Jenny, (age 18), Kassidy (age 11), and Kacie (age 7) for sharing their love of these animals with all of us, and thank the horse owners for bringing along their special Vineyard Ladies: Leila (owner of Daisy), and Jyla (owner of Maisy.)
A special thank you to Charlie Vecchi for providing copies of the book for all participants and to Betsy Vecchi, for sharing the story.
