Doctor Master Gunnery Sergeant Harper's New Gig

 



Since Sebrena and I retired to Arkansas we have taken on raising miniature horses. That being said, it is difficult for us to leave them unattended for more than a day or two. Because of this, we will not be able to attend the reunion in Boston. We will miss seeing all of you and hope you have a great time!

All the best and Semper Fidelis,


Clarence and Sebrena Harper

Clarence, we will miss you and Sabrena.  Miniature horses, just curious,  What do you do with them?  Sounds interesting, there are few people near me here in Waterford that have miniature horse, I see on their land.

Mainly we enjoy having the small horses. They are wonderful to watch and easy to work with. They need to be groomed regularly and have their hooves trimmed. We have a pony buggy and plan to train some of them to pull the buggy. 

One of the horses is actually a Shetland pony.and she is broke to ride. The grandkids and neighbor kids love riding her. We also have 2 donkeys to protect the herd. We had a 2 day old foal killed by a stray dog last year. The donkeys will chase a dog (or cat) and keep them out of the pasture. So as you can see, they keep us busy and we love it! We are expecting new foals this summer...


Ya'll take care, as they say here locally.

Corruption Index

 


Europe and the English speaking countries have been able to reduce public corruption with effective laws and law enforcement. It is no accident that better, more honest democratic government also leads to stronger economic growth. The best thing that any country can do to build a strong economy is to build an honest and effective government.
