This article is about a young teen, a sophmore at a private school near Philadelphia, PA, who rides his horse, a 12-year old Percheron gelding, to school everyday.
This is an interesting story. He seems quite able to handle the responsibilities of arranging to do this activity by getting out of bed before sun-up just to get to school, four miles away, on time every day.
From getting permission to keep his horse at the school during the day, to building the corral there and doing the maintenance himself, and still managing to participate in after-school activities, I found this article encouraging because this kid comes across as capable and unspoiled with a can-do attitude.
I would be thankful if someone who's interested and knows how to post pictures would please do so.
Amazing story.
Thanks for posting.
I think the pics are copy righted or else I would be happy to.
Moral of this story....there may come a day...
Lots of pics with article. Great story.

Nice story. Several years ago we hired two Percherons to pull redwood trees up out of the forest to the on-site mill. Magnificent horses, incredibly strong, and love to work.
New Orleans Police use these gentle giants to herd drunks. A pretty sight to see.
