Lois Poster is an ardent animal lover. She learned to ride when she was three years old, and has been involved with horses all her life. As an adult, she owned a show horse farm in Virginia. During those years, she showed in various parts of the country and took many ribbons, including the President’s Cup at the Washington National Horseshow.
Later, she retired to a farm in New England, with a pair of two-year-old geldings and a six-week-old filly. She trained the horses for pleasure riding only. She and the mare were constant companions. They were all together for twenty-two years.
