Here is a photo of one of the Etsell horses, shot sometime in the 1950s.
The Etsell horses were all gone by the time I arrived on the scene, so I had to wait until a junior high horse-riding field trip to learn that I'm allergic to horses, as I seem to be to all things with fur.
They... shot the horse?!
ReplyDeleteSorry..."photographed" the horse.
ReplyDeleteI had the same question....poor Topsy.
ReplyDeleteIn an ironic twist, Mom wrote to say that Topsy was indeed shot some years later, in 1961. Had to be put down by Granddad after falling ill.
