...how much I love history?
I had a wonderful chat with Dr. Donald Balch last night. He was the director of the UVM Morgan Horse Farm for over thirty years, and he is UVM Viking's breeder.
UVM Viking was herd sire at UConn for about a year in the 1970s.
When I asked him about Viking he said "I can see him in my mind as if it was yesterday."
Dr. Balch loved every one of his horses.
Thank you for sharing, Dr. Balch. It was an honor to speak with you.
Here is a great video about the UVM Horse Farm featuring the Farm Director, Steve Davis. Steve Davis was Dr. Balch's successor--recommended highly by Dr. Balch himself.
Thank you, UVM, for your help in keeping the Morgan breed alive!
