Old Photos: The Faithful Old Palomino, Prince

Scanning old photos...

The Faithful Old Palomino, Prince

In the first two pictures, taken in the mid 1960s, Larry's older brothers Lyle, Jr., and Roy are riding Prince. Roy died of a brain tumor not long after, at age 7. Junior died only 2 ½ years later at age 11 in a car accident.

Next picture is Larry, age 9, on Prince, June 13, 1970. Fourth shot is Larry, 16, with Prince at Christmastime 1976.  By this time, Larry and his family had moved to Columbus, Nebraska, where we live now.

The remaining pictures are of our oldest four children, Keith, 4, Hannah, 3, Dorcas, 2, and Teddy, 9 months, riding Prince in May of 1984. Aunt Lynn, who by then owned Jackson Stables, can be seen in some of the pictures.

Prince lived to be 34.
