We’re excited and pleased to announce this year’s recipient is Ron Levesque of Epping, NH., co-founder of E.P.O.N.A. Ron has had horses for most of his life or close to 30 years with the exception of 10-12 years when he founded, operated and managed The Epping Flower Shop and Gallery and R.
Early on in his life, he was exposed to a rescue situation that ended with one horse being euthanized and the other having permanent physical limitations.

 The Horse
The six decades spanning the gaps between the years of the Fire Horse mean that this rare sign occurs only in the years 1846, 1906, 1966, 2026, etc. These years are bad for Horses themselves and bad for families who have a Horse in the house.
This is because the Fire Horse's influence can change from beneficial to malignant, and during these years all Horse families will become subject to illness, accidents and bad luck in general.
Under no circumstances must the Horse marry a Rat, in particular if the Horse is female and born under the rare sign of the Fire Horse (1906, 1966, etc.).
