that one-stop for all your horse needs and information for
the Northeastern Pennsylvania Equine Community.
We continue to get the information out there for all our friends in the Northeastern Pennsylvania Equine Community.
Suggestions to make this a better publication are encouraged. All contributions,
whether emailed, monetary or verbal, are welcomed and needed.
We send a monthly issue out via email. Make sure you are on our mailing list by emailing us at [email protected].
On the Cover
There were so many marvelous photos sent in for this,
our second annual Tribute to the Barn Cat issue. It was
very very hard to just pick one for the cover. This year‟s
cover shot is by Magee Allegrucci from The Double A
Farm in Justus. Oreo is guarding the New Holland
tractor from unauthorized drivers. We think he‟s
tractor‟s sexy and we‟re crazy „bout a farmer‟s tan.
Letter From the Editor
We had such a wonderful reaction to our first Tribute to The Barn Cat
issue last year that we decided to do it every year. So, like last year, the
photos submitted were fantastic. It was very difficult to pick one for the
cover. Hope you had as much fun picking out which photos to send in,
as we had looking at them and figuring out how to get them all in the
issue. There are many “rodents” in our lives as well as in the horse
world. Where would we be without our loyal mousers? Overrun by
“rodents”, that‟s what. Thank you to all our fluffy, furry, fat and skinny,
whiskered felines, on earth and in Heaven, for keeping us safe as well as
being a friend in need. Thanks for greeting us each cold winter morning
with that little “coo” of a hello and for keeping watch over the barn.

Corrections and Omissions
In the April issue, the caption below the photo on Page 6 should read, “Julie Druga,
Alyssa Hoffman, Mariah Martzen, Jenna Franklin and Amy Johns passed their BHS
rd
Stage 1 exam at Delaware College February 23 . It was very intense, with three
hours of questions and then they had to ride two horses. Photo is of the five girls with
Rachel Fitzmorris (trainer) and Angelo Telatin at Del Val.” YHR is sorry for the error.
Also, photo of Kate Morgan on the Remember When page is certainly not from 1977.
It is from 1995 taken at Minglewood Farm. YHR regrets the error.

A special thank you for Jody Ciliberto for her generosity. Jim Culleton called her “his photographer”
and as you can see, she is a uniquely talented hunt field photographer. Her photos of Jim Culleton
are exceptional. They are even more beautiful in full color and copies are available from her.

Fair Hill Farm Riding Academy
I am 55 years old and have had primary progressive MS for less than 10 years. One year from the first
symptom I found myself in a wheelchair unable to walk. Having always been healthy, strong, and
active, this was devastating. After the third year I moved into a nursing home, where I found the
loving care and support I needed to heal emotionally. I was then faced with a decision, give up and let
MS take me or stay strong and live. I chose to live. When Art Goldberg came to see me I had already
been working hard in therapy and was very strong. When he asked me if I wanted to do riding therapy,
nothing could have thrilled me more. I had never heard of it. I wasn't even sure I could do it. The first
time showed me just how possible riding a horse was. Sitting atop a horse was like coming home to
me, even though it had been almost 25 years since I rode. I was comfortable and sat up straight. Just
how straight was visible in the pictures that were taken that first day. I don't sit up completely straight
in a wheelchair. What is it about sitting on a horse that brings the body into alignment?
The exercises were challenging, and pushed me physically. I like that kind of encouragement to stretch
my limits. When I came home that day I was told I was glowing. To this day I am told that I look happier
the days that I ride. This says a lot because I am normally smiling any way. I started riding in the fall so
the winter came too quickly. Over the winter I admit to getting lazy. It's easy whiling away the hours in
front of the computer. My laziness became apparent to me at my first couple of therapy sessions in the
spring. I was falling forward when trying to do the exercises asked of me. This would not do. I wanted to
ride and ride well. I got to work. My workout consists of getting my legs stretched then alternating
between hitting a balloon back and forth with my therapist and using a piece of exercise equipment for
strength building. Every night I use water bottles as dumbbells and do weight training in bed. On the
weekend I use a table bicycle to start my day. The thought of riding keeps me going when I don't feel like
working out. I guess everyone has to find their own motivation to keep fit. I've found mine. More people
should be made aware of this very beneficial therapy. Thank you to Art Goldberg for finding me and
thank you to Ben Goldberg for being a great teacher.
Submitted by Peggy Lundquist. Peggy is currently experiencing riding
therapy with Ben Goldberg, at Fair Hill Farm Riding Academy. Ben is a
NARHA Certified instructor. She was given this most wonderful
opportunity a couple of years ago when Art Goldberg was introduced to
her. Art Goldberg is the director of Fair Hill Farm. This past winter she
and Art were discussing how riding was a great motivator to staying fit.
He asked her to write about it and send it to him. After reading it, Art
thought how it would be a nice article for publication and Peggy was kind
enough to share it with Your Horse Resource for Northeastern
Pennsylvania. Thank you Peggy.

It is with great sadness that YHR reports
Serendipity Stable made that grave
decision and had to have their wonderful
horse Chan's Rebel Jet aka Rebel put
down, the beginning of April. Dr. Martha
Wells was called and found a displaced
colon due to a tumor blockage or twist. He
was amazingly stoic and gave no indication
of the pain he must have been in. Out of a
QH mare named Chan, Kim Keogh‟s first
horse and by Jay Breaker Jet an AQHA
stallion, also Kim‟s, he would have been 28
years old on April 23 and was not a
candidate for surgery at his advanced age.
Kim Keogh watched as he was born on
April 23 1983, at Serendipity Stable and
was there with him when he passed away.
Our condolences go out to Kim Keogh and
Serendipity Stable. RIP Rebel.

The Seven Stages of Aging on (and off) Horses
Stage I:
Fall off pony. Bounce. Laugh. Climb back on. Repeat.
Stage 2: Fall off horse. Run after horse, cussing. Climb back on by shimmying up horse‟s neck. Ride until sundown.
Stage 3: Fall off horse. Use sleeve of shirt to stanch bleeding. Have friend help you get back on horse. Take two Advil and apply icepacks when
you get home. Ride next day.
Stage 4: Fall off horse. Refuse advice to call ambulance; drive self to urgent care clinic. Entertain nursing staff with tales of previous daredevil
stunts on horseback. Back to riding before cast comes off.
Stage 5: Fall off horse. Temporarily forget name of horse and name of husband. Flirt shamelessly with paramedics when they
arrive. Spend week in hospital while titanium pins are screwed in place. Start riding again before doctor gives official okay.
Stage 6: Fall off horse. Fail to see any humor when hunky paramedic says, “You again?” Gain firsthand knowledge of advances in
medical technology thanks to stint in ICU. Convince self that permanent limp isn‟t that noticeable. Promise husband you‟ll
give up riding. One week later purchase older, slower, shorter horse.
Stage 7: Slip off horse. Relieved when artificial joints and implanted medical devices seem unaffected. Tell husband that scrapes
and bruises are due to gardening accident. Pretend you don‟t see husband roll his eyes and mutter as he walks away.
Give apple to horse.
Trust me. Despite a lack of bounce-ability, aging on horseback isn‟t so bad, as long as you know what lies ahead…as long as you keep your sense
of humor.
Thank you to Kim Keogh for these words of wisdom

I Might Have Been a Barn Cat
Hi! My name is Chicken, Chicken Kitty actually. I‟m not sure how I got into this magazine, but the way I figure it is I
might have been a Barn Cat.
My human Mom, Deb from Liberty Reins Ranch adopted me from the Humane Society a few years ago and I gotta
tell ya, she was brave!! Apparently she went there for a dog; yep I said a DOG and she ended up bringing my butt
home instead. What was she thinkin‟?? From what I know she never had a cat before and here I was, her pilot cat,
her “try out” cat and get this, she had two, yes two rescued Pit Bulls! Yikes. I do remember thinking, “Take me
back to the barn!” Ok, ok! I‟m sorry. I didn‟t mean to sound ungrateful. I mean, who else would have adopted me
at 11 years old? I mean I‟m cute and all, but I was 11 and no one really knew where I came from. But seriously,
how could anyone not love this face?
So, here I was, shaved to the bone, in this poinsettia sweater they sent me off to my new barn, I mean HOUSE, to live. I walk in,
looking for the horses and hay, and all I see are those two dogs staring at me like I was lunch. I quickly remembered what my barn cat
ancestors said, “Let them think they are kings, we know who really rules.” That worked!! And actually, we all got to be pretty good
buddies. Phew!
So by now I bet you are all wondering, why does he think he could have been a barn cat? Well, while I am not sure where I came
from, I know I am tough, I am independent, I am playful, I am a protector. I am silly, I‟m a sneak and I love to play, I‟m fi xed but always
lookin‟ for a laaaaaydee. I love a nice warm bed, I love me some POND WATER, I‟m quick and always on alert (except on a full
tummy).
I kept asking my two new friends, “Where‟s the darn barn?” They looked at me like
I was nuts! Ok, so, maybe with the way I looked, it‟s possible I gave off the wrong
signal. I thought, maybe if I spruced myself with some cat “axe” and kitty hair gel,
they might take me more seriously and get me back to the barn! My human Mom
thought so too. Before I knew it I was SMOKIN‟ HOT! Finally, someone will listen!
At least that is what I thought. Plus, I got my barn cat‟s backs baby!! I will
TOLERATE dogs by allowing them to think they “stole my food” because I‟m a
“Mouser Extraordinaire” lifetime member.
I am your best friend whenever your day is tough and will keep you warm if you fall asleep in a stall after a hard day‟s work in the barn.
BUT, the biggest reason I know I must have been a Barn Cat is I DO NOT EAT HORSE POOP. From what I know, every other stinkin‟
animal out there loves that stuff except a Barn Cat. Just ask my pals in the photos above.
Thanks for reading my story! Love to all the Barn Kitties. Dream of fresh hay & pond frogs! xoxoxo Chicken.

On the 8th of April 2011 Jim Culleton, MFH passed away peacefully at his
home Reedy Creek Farm in McKenney, Virginia. He was 67. He was born
July 5, 1943, in Brooklyn, N.Y., and was the son of the late James John and
Catherine Gallagher Culleton. Jim was a very extraordinary person and he
will be missed by so many people here in PA as well as Virginia and New
York. He grew up in New York and always seemed to have horses in his life
where he and his family ran a hack stable. Jim wore many hats. A school
teacher, a school administrator, DJ, men's clothing model and a ski instructor
are just a few of his many occupations. His passion was Horses and Fox
Hunting which led him to PA where he ran the Bailey Hollow Boarding and
Training facility and resurrected the Abington Hills Hunt. He was so involved
in horse sports and at one time was President of the Northeastern
Pennsylvania Horseman‟s Association. His love of children was obvious to
all. He ran day camps out of his Bailey Hollow Farm in the summer and was
always surrounded by the kids. He made the sport, which is generally
considered an expensive pastime affordable.
He moved to Virginia 11 years ago to "retire" and have a smaller farm but still
enjoyed the life of hunting with his fox hounds. He was a huge asset to the
Pennsylvania horse community and was greatly missed by so many of us
when he moved. He had a band of followers and they would come from New
York and PA to continue fox hunting with him. He was a talented story teller
who loved to entertain. There was always a gathering, a party, a BBQ or some
kind of get together, never a dull moment when Jim was around. He also
started foot hunting with a pack of Basset Hounds and Beagles. His hounds
were shown in competition and won almost every class the entered. He also
held office in many of those fields.
Jody Ciliberto ©
He was Laid to rest on Wednesday, April 8, 2011 here in Dalton next to his
mother's grave. Taken to the grave site by a horse drawn hearse shipped to
Dalton especially for Jim by owner and driver James Hunley of Richmond,
Va., it was the same hearse that was used for Senator Byrd‟s procession. It
was beautiful and he would have loved that. The new owners of Bailey Hollow
Farm, now Abington Hills Farm, Ron and Jane Skeels graciously hosted a
breakfast in his honor. Tom McElduff his longtime companion and partner will
continue to operate the farm and hunt in Virginia. In lieu of flowers,
contributions may be made to St. Jude Children‟s Research Hospital, 501 St.
Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105. Our prayers go out to Tommy and Jim's
family and friends.
Thank you to Bernadette Schwartz for her heartfelt contribution.
An Irish Blessing
Jody Ciliberto ©
May the road rise to meet you. May the wind be always at your back.
May the sunshine warm upon your face, The rain fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again, May God Hold you in the palm of His hand.
Amen

The Last Fence
When the last fence looms up, I am ready
And I hope when the rails of it crack
There'll be nothing in front but the Master,
The huntsman, the fox, and the pack;
And I hope when fate bids me go under
In this last of my manifold spills,
That we're riding the line of a hill fox
With half a mile start to his hills.
I hope that last fence is a stiff one;
I hope, for the sake of our name,
They may say, ' If the task was beyond them
They both of them went at it game! '
And when the white girths flash above me,
And darkness comes down on the field,
Let them carry me home on a hurdle
As the Spartan went home on his shield.
And when I am out of the running
Let the good men go on with the pack;
I would not one comrade should falter,
I would not one friend should turn back;
And whether it be on the grass-land,
The hill-side, the heath or the loam,
Let the gallant ones keep going for'ardThe slow ones can carry me home.
Let them bury me down in the churchyard,
But lay my good horse where he fell;
When the ditches are blind in the autumn
Some friend may remember and tell,
While under the thong of the west wind
The day-nettle trembles and stirs:
'Twas from here that a horseman undaunted
Went Home in his boots and his spurs.'

premises. The sessions are flexible due to the need to meet each individual where
they are at, not to force them into the mold of our agenda. Participants will
experience and learn how to care for a horse, basic riding & training skills, as well
as Christian principles, gardening, games, and crafts. Interaction with a horse can
be an immensely powerful, influential, uplifting, healing, empowering, and
confidence building experience for anyone. Out of our desire to enable everyone
who desires to participate, Hope Hill Ministry‟s program is free of charge.
We are completely run by volunteers and funded by
individual donations and grants. If you are interested
in getting more information about Hope Hill Ministry
or scheduling a time for our founder, Keely Ehrhardt,
come speak to your organization, please contact us
at [email protected] 570-832-3245.

Repost if you have had a horse be your best friend, forgive you for all your mistakes while you were "learning,"
stand quietly while you cried into their mane, carry you over rough, hilly and rocky trails, win you blue ribbons, or
just make you proud of them. Horses give to us every day and they ask for very little in return.
