Now residing in Cochranville, Pa., Bill and his wife live on their own Coach Horn Farm, caring for their seven imported Dutch Gelderlanders. Together, they have shown these horses as singles, pairs, unicorns, and fours, competing successfully in the Coaching Divisions at the Devon Horse Show and the invitation-only Royal Winter Fair in Canada.
