MWVHSC FAMILY STAR
Sixpence Lafayette
Farm in Lancaster, NH. Laf was trained and shown by Richard
MacKillop and later became the treasured mount for Richard's
niece, Tracy.
Lafayette is one of those special horses who will go class after
class and stay consistent. He excelled and wore the blue in 4-H,
Morgan and Open English Pleasure, Road Hack and Saddleseat
Equitation with Tracy up.
As time went on and Tracy competed with new horses, Lafayette
also moved on to a new rider. Brittany Willey, the daughter of
Tracy's cousin Lori and the late Joel Willey, started her show career
on Lafayette. First came the Walk Trot Division and now they are
regular competitors in the open divisions; pleasure and equitation.
In 2005, Lafayette introduced yet a third member of the family to the
showring. Brittany's younger brother, Jakob, competed in the
Leadline sections.
Laf can gently walk and trot with his precious young cargo, then
step up to the plate and compete on the next level with Brittany.
But put Tracy up there and the old light in the eyes sparkle and the
feet fly. This old horse knows more about the showring than most
humans.
Lafayette is the ideal family Morgan gelding as he has proved
countless times over these many years. The MWVHSC has been
fortunate to watch Lafayette and the MacKillop kids grow up. He is
truly a treasure and we have chosen him as our MWVHSC Family
Star.
