Anne, Connie and I took a little road trip this past Thursday down near Bradenton to the winter home of the Lipizzan Stallions. They train there during the winter months and the training is open to the public Thursday, Friday, and Saturday until they leave to go on tour the first of May. These are descendents of the horses rescued by Gen. George Patton during WW2. They where smuggled out of Austria by the U.S. Army before the advancing Russians. The fear was that the Russians would slaughter these horses and eat them. They are really something to see. Charlie
