Bessie | 1200 lb., light brown | Clydesdale; bought in Benton, NL in the mid-1950’s; sold in the mid-1960’s. Bes was a loving and pleasant horse. She was shared by the family (Thomas Benson, David Benson, Alex Baker). My memories of Bess take me back to Christmas. Every Christmas my family would borrow Bess to go to cut the Christmas tree. It was an enjoyable day of fun, horse riding, boil up and cutting the perfect tree. Bess loved apples which we picked for her in the fall. She looked forward to her treats every hour and all the leftovers at the end of the day. | |
