Ebbie:

       When I was a kid, my folks owned a boarding farm for harness racing horses that ran on the Chicago tracks. For a time, the sire of the "Hanover" line was resident and standing stud on our place. I don't believe that he ever won the Hambletonian, but I know his name was on several later winners.

Dusty (a stable name, I think) was a huge animal, but as gentle to us lower forms of life as any puppy.
