The Animals

We've always had animals on the mountain. Over the years there have been
13 horses, several dozen cattle, a couple of goats, many barn cats, and twenty-four dogs.
Currently, High Top Mountain is home to one horse, Spirit, and eleven dogs.

Tommy died in March 2001, Princess in March 2005, and Ebony in July 2005.
They are gone now, but not forgotten.
