I did if through an interpreter named Den- nis Taylor who operates a retire- ment home for horses near the village of Campbellville. The retirement home, called Twitmarsh Farm, is located in a beautiful country setting. There are 150 acres of rolling huIs and green pastures where aging horses can spend their golden year s avay from the pressures of the track or show ring. The oldest horse there was 29-year-old Robin, who in his younger years had been wvith the Metro Toronto Mounted Police. When 1 first saw him he was casual- ly Cantering around one of the green pastures. Dennis called out ta him and he veered over toward us. 1 had made an appointment, so he knew why 1I\vas there. He was a big browni horse who exuded a quiet confidence. He nod- ded slîghtly, and gave nme a smnile showing his large white teeth the wvay wolves and tigers and guard dogs do. Some people regard that as a threatening gesture. The truth is, they're all just sniling as a greeting. Thre only' polite thing ta do is smnile back. Try it sometimne. If YOU're still arondr, give me a cal and telI mie how it worked out. Anlyway, after a few introductory ' e marks, Robin launched into a _Jnef or orv ,f t'his life. 'Il've seen it al," he said. "The riots, the crowd control, at, parades and rock con- certs, in and out among strike brèakers, the traffic noise of Yonge Street. And when 1 was arookie go- ing through that -tough training. 1 can tell you a piolice horse's lot is not a happy one, as the saying goes. "But there were the good tîmes, too," he wentt on ta sa\. "The times wh-eni my partriers wýould ride me dowýn intio Roýedale Ravine on a spring miioring wL, hen the leaves werejust beginninig to burst forth." He smiiled ag:airi. "Howýever, these are the best days oif ail," he said. " Here at Twitmarsh 1 juýjsi loaf around. 1 have big quarters with a southern exposure, regular in- noculations and all that. And 1 have quite a few buddies here in my own age group. You just can't beat it." Dennis was telling me that he and his wife Anne started the retirement home when they couildn't find a suitable place for their owNn aging horses. He showýed mne around. Ini another building there were somie younger hotses, Most of them were race horses there for a brief holdiay ta get away from it ail. In a way, the farmi isa sort of spa for horses. Before 1 left J went back ta say gootlbye tô Robin. He gave me a horse laiuigh as we parted. If you're incliined ta regard the interview with somte sceticism, please be assured 1 got it straight, tram the horse's mouth.
