Sally Ross Davis of Rollingwoods writes...From the beginning, Rollingwoods Farm had a vet on staff.  This enabled us to get mares which might be questionable breeders in foal.  Once such mare was Heatherstone Chocolate Chip grand-dam of Rollingwoods Lorna Doone.  Lorna Doone is by the incomparable Sleight Of Hand and is a tremendous performance and halter pony in her own right, having earned her Individual Legion of Merit, Dam Legion of Merit and Dam Award of Excellence.  Joanna broke Lorna to ride.  While Ron Schwartz was breaking her to drive, she surprised everyone with a pretty little filly, appropriately named Rollingwoods Who Doone It.  Doone has been National Champion in most Divisions for which she is eligible.  Currently she has taken Turner Davis to Reserve Champion in Walk, Walk Trot and Walk Trot poles. The advice to Turner when he enters the ring is to keep his hand still and let "Doone" be in charge.  Lorna prefers the broodmare life and her next foals were just as special.  Her notable offspring include Rollingwoods Cookie Thief, herd stallion and Rollingwoods Double Stuff who was National Champion in English, Western, and Hunter and possesses his Individual Award of Honor.  Other offspring include the geldings Rollingwoods Cookie Cop and Rollingwoods Cookie Dough who are competing in the hunter ring and Rollingwoods Catfish Cookies who is currently packing a small child in the short stirrup division.  Her contributions as a broodmare are legion; however her most wonderful trait is her gentle nature.  Whether it is teaching someone to drive or ride or just babysitting a small child Lorna is always safe to handle.  One reason that Lorna is so safe is that the word Whoa is the most important one in her vocabulary.  She has endeared herself to children and adults alike who are timid and need a confidence boost.  Lorna is retired now but still teaches the occasional child to ride or adult to drive.  She is fat and happy and hopefully will continue to produce champions for many years to come.
