train horses…
His son too would accompany him everywhere…

his goal.
He wanted to own a stud farm when he grew up…

He even drew a
model of a 200-acre
farm showing the
location of all the
buildings, the stables,
the ranches and the
horse tracks.

of effort in describing it in his project.
The next day he presented his paper to his
teacher.
