kayfry said...: Tammy, your grandfather was my first riding teacher, in Sarasota back in the late 50s and early 60s. I was quite young then, but I remember him well, and he was hugely important to me back then. Would love to know more about him and his life. I'm a writer and have always wanted to write about him. You can email me at kayfry@zoominternet.net. I have a little article in which I talk about what he meant to me, and include an old photo that I'm sure you've seen, at www.kayfrydenborg.wordpress.com.; 02 October, 2010 09:52

My Dad and your grandmother had to convince him to purchase Starless Night. Before Starless he had a horse name Yo Yo.

Unknown said...: I'm trying to find the registered name for Starless Night. I'm doing research for the American Saddlebred Horse Association and we'd like to correctly identify her and post photos alongside her pedigree. Can anyone help me?; 10 August, 2012 13:46
