Who is that 'dark stranger'?

Welcome Dawn (a.k.a Don*)

We excitedly announce the newest member of the herd, Don* standing at a magnificent 17 plus hands. This gorgeous, black Irish Draught with a bright white star also has a white sock above his left front hoof that closely resembles the cuff of a sleeve peeking out from a tuxedo jacket. This incredibly handsome horse is giving Judge a run for his money in the looks department and will no doubt confuse a few volunteers as to who is who.

During Don’s month-long trial, all eyes were on this gentle giant. Strong enough to carry our larger and more experienced riders, but also calm enough for our inexperienced riders, Don knows his job. That’s not to say he isn’t a big puppy dog that is always on the lookout for some love from the volunteers and staff.

Thank you Melissa Thomas for entrusting Don to Mane Stream! He’s going to be a camper favorite for sure!!

*The Celtic meaning of the name Donald/Don is Dark Stranger.
