10/16/14: John Killacky first fell in love with a pony named Raindrop at the tender age of 8. Years later, as the Executive Director of the Flynn Center for the Performing Arts, Killacky rediscovered his equine passion with a Shetland pony named Pacific Raindrop. A former dancer and marathon runner who was disabled in 1996, Killacky found his legs again in a horse-drawn cart.

Last week, Eva hitched a ride with John and Raindrop at Windswept Farm in Williston.

Music: La Strada, “Flying”
