Foaled: 1982 Height: 14.1 hh

What can we say about Neil that could possibly describe how wonderful he is! He is a Norwegian Fjord with a glorious mane that stands up on end! He is round and cuddly, with a happy and "smiling" disposition. A huge favorite with anyone who comes through the barn. Don't even think about it - he does NOT fit into your pocketbook or rucksack. Neil is on loan to Winslow from Jan Ashe.

He is extremely handsome, and his new career seems to suit him well. He loves people and attention, and is already an important part of our programs.
