With only a few dollars in his pocket the Iyoung man was going to a strange country, however, he was going with an incredible opportunity to help fulfill his dream of being a horse trainer. “I was first exposed to American Saddlebreds through my dad. He’s my biggest influence,” said Turner. “My older sister showed. My first horse was actually a jumper before I ever sat on a Saddlebred. He was a Gymkhana horse. We enjoyed horses as a family. Mom didn’t have any interest in riding but she made tail bags and things for us. We would trailer in and out and stay at the campgrounds. It was a big social outing.

  • Death the Prince Imperial
    Death of The Prince ImperiaL (Taken from The Illustrated London News, June 28, 1879) Napoleon Eugène Louis Jean Joseph Bonaparte 14 March 1856 - 1 June 1879 The unhappy and inglorious warfare in South Africa, begun last January without the authority of her Majesty’s Government, has already cost of the lives of many young Englishmen, officers of the ill-fated 24th and other regiments, whose portraits have been given in the Journal with such brief notices as were acceptable to the feelings of their bereaved parents and private friends. It has been our willing task in each of these mournful instances, with the permission, or more frequently at the express request, of the afflicted relatives, to minister such poor consolation as might be afforded by the publicity this bestowed upon the memory of a lost son or brother; and we have not, as is the ordinary practice in time of war, restricted it to the cases of distinguished men in the higher military commands. The same kind and degree of public condolence must now be accorded by us to the French Imperial family, and especially to the widowed Empress residing at Chiselhurst, upon the sad fate of a youthful Prince, who had been educated with English comrades of his own age at the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich, and who was personally known to the members of our own Royal Family, as well as to many other people of rank and station in this country. It was on Friday, yesterday week [June 20th 1879], that the news which had arrived on the night before, and which had been communicated by the Secretary of State for War to the House of Commons at a late hour, spread through the whole kingdom and all over Europe.
