When we first arrived at Ithaca
Manor in September 2003, we built a paddock fence, and run-in sheds and gathered up Achilles (a thoroughbred cross) and by
spring 2004 our mare, Foulis Alicia, dropped her colt, Bold Bucephalus, who could trace his line back to Secretariat.
In September 2005, we added Holly's Athena, a thoroughbred mare in foal, and Diana's Hera, a filly, born to Holly's
Athena on April 6, 2005. It's 2011 and we still have a few horses to maintain and hack when the weather and ground allow.
We love small animals too. Argus was our
curious beagle, but he's not with us any more. Patroclus is our Maine Coon cat. Homer and Kunos are our jack russells, and
we have two more, Whitey and Tiny, from two breedings out of Kunos. We have also had ferrets, gerbils, a chicken, two
parakeets and a dove we named Hermes.

From this Gazebo, we can watch the horses,
the ring and a flower garden.

Holly and her gang of four; like potato
chips, one is just not enough.

I am Patroclus, a Maine Coon cat, and I rule!
