Everyone loves a challenge. An order came in this year for a woman who loves horses and rides at Myopia. The designer chose a black and red ribbon reminiscent of hunting jackets and black velvet helmets, and actually searched eBay for child’s stirrups which she painted with glitter. The jewels symbolize the prizes and pick up the red in the ribbon. Very successful and the client was thrilled.
Mayor Thomas M. Menino, along with Annette Born, Harry Collings, Adrienne Camier, Julia Donahue, Christine Dunn, Pam Lazares, and Judith Little, invite you to join them for a holiday jog, nog and nod to honor the life of horseman Donald V. Little (pictured below at Myopia as a teenager,) and to support the continuation of The Boston Park Rangers Mounted Unit, on Wednesday, November 28, from 5:30 – 7:30 at The Parkman House, 33 Beacon Street in Boston. Donation $500. The Mayor thanks sponsors Christy and Jay Cashman, Julie and Ron Druker, Elizabeth L. Johnson, Barbara and David Roby, and The Friends of Post Office Square.
There are many wonderful adjectives that come to mind when Don’s name is mentioned. The phrase one hears most is “bigger than life.” Don was that! His life and the equestrian world were intertwined. The Mounted Unit was one of his favorite causes. Don was a keystone figure early on to help save Boston’s six horses. We honor and thank him. For more information, contact Julia Donahue at jdonahue@baystatefinancial.com, or call 617-585-4534.
