"Calvin" is a 15.3 hand Red Dunn, appendix quarter horse and just recently joined the herd at Bit by Bit stables. He is owned by Alyssa and Andrea (Andi) Nilson. Although we don't really know his real age, he has been estimated somewhere between 12 and 16 years old. For ease of keeping track we just keep him at the same age as his owner/rider Alyssa (15). He was acquired from LBEC 3 years ago and was Alyssa's favorite schooling horse there. Calvin is such a joy to have and was often known as Clifford the big red horse at his previous barn. He is settling in nicely to his new home and seems to be quite enamored with "Rosie" (although she doesn't give him the time of day). Although he can sometimes be a worry wort, he is very affectionate, mild mannered and smart. He is a very quick learner and can be crafty especially if the grass is greener on the other side of the fence.
