Slow Gait'n News..............................
I have been asked by The Family of Nona McKinley who owned North Wind Farms in Okemos, Michigan to author the story about Nona, The Farm, Horses, Stallions, and her role in the Michigan Horse Show Association, for which she served over 30 years....
So please stay tuned!

A Trip back down Memory Lane.....
Recently I was in Grand Blanc, Michigan and I drove past the old Pine Hollow Farms and was so sad to see everything gone. The main training barn now has a huge home upon the grounds and all the pasture fencing is there, but homes adorn the background..... I did stop and take photos of the broodmares barn and smiled remembering all the great horses that were born there, and myself being present for some of those births and for the naming of those babies...Just sad that the farm is gone, Jim Sabo passed away last year,and it really made me tear up.
