Charles is the heart and soul of our place...

He mows, repairs, paints, cleans, sharpens hoof knives, feeds all the critters, ferries horses around, keeps all machinery running, and keeps everyone entertained.

 After thirty years in the service he retired in 1989 as a Command Sergeant Major. He turned down a position as Post Sergeant Major at Fort Dix, NJ to enjoy the life as a gentleman farmer at Horrell Hill.

It didn't quite work out like that, but he is happy with improving the farm and keeping everything ship shape.
