Nader Well, what can I say about Nader, after 30 years old you stop counting. Nader was born in North Carolina and purchased from one of Gail's riding instructors (David Godson) at Humber College. She has dedicated almost 20 years of her life to teaching young, (and young at heart) riders the joys of riding, taken many people out for their first trail ride, and had brought countless great memories to all who know her. Nader is still ridden lightly,because she has let us know she is not ready for full retirement yet.
