Hi Bonnie (the writer), if you're tuned in. My name is Carol Rivoire, and I wronte THE FJORDHORSE HANDBOOK. It's funny Jean Gayle should remember 'Revere', as in Paul Revere, because he's an ancestor of my husband. Since Paul was a "famous horseman", (Midnight Ride of Paul Revere), I assume it's appropriate to talk about him here.--- Anyway, the real name of Paul Revere's father was Appolus Rivoire, which he changed to Paul Revere sometime after emigrating to the Colonies, apparently because, even back then, Americans were terrible with languages. So, the name is now Rivoire, not Revere, although when making reservations at restaurants we always say 'Revere', not Rivoire, thereby saving the bother of repeating and spelling the name.
