Thanks.... we've been reading and talking about him too.
That is sure a neat breast collar there with his emblem on it.
Noonan writes, "....His favorite horse when he was president was El Alamein, a white Arabian stallion, hard to control, given to him by President Portillo of Mexico before Reagan was elected president of the United States. His Secret Service men hated that horse. You had to be really good to ride him. Agent John Barletta would come up to the ranch a few days before the president visited and ride El Alamein to get the wildness out. Nancy's favorite horse was a handsome sorrel quarter horse called No Strings.
The Reagan's weren't "Photo Op" horse people...horses were part of their lives.
