Congrats to Phyllis Cervelli! An honor that is so well deserved🩷

🎉 Congratulations to the IHSA Hall of Fame Class of 2026 inductee Phyllis Cervelli!

🏆 In 1991 she started coaching the Boston University team, while simultaneously teaching students on the open circuit until her retirement in 2025. She also stayed busy as a U.S. Equestrian Federation hunter and hunter seat equitation judge, and by helping out with her sisters’ Holly Hill Show Stable.

Cervelli’s uncanny ability to bring out the best in horse and rider came in part from her out-of-the-box thinking. She taught multi-level lessons to students and frequently turned to her sisters for an extra set of eyes.

🐴 “I found that every student learns in a different way, and my job was to figure that out,” said Phyllis Cervelli.

A little info for any of the donkey folks out there. I had no idea about this🤷‍♀️

The "Raincoat" Mistake: Why a Donkey is NOT a Small Horse.

We see it all the time: A horse and a donkey standing in a field during a cold rainstorm. The horse is grazing happily. The donkey looks miserable.

Many owners think: "If the horse is fine, the donkey is fine."

Wrong. Biologically, you are looking at two completely different animals.

🌵 1. The Desert DNA Horses (Equus ferus) evolved on windy, rainy temperate plains. They are built for bad weather. Donkeys (Equus africanus) evolved in the African Desert. They are built for dry heat, not wet cold.

🧽 2. The "Sponge" Effect Run your hand over a horse in the rain. The water beads up and rolls off. Why? Because horses produce sebum (natural grease) and have a dense undercoat that acts as a natural raincoat. Donkeys do not have this. Their hair is coarse and lacks that protective grease layer. When it rains, water doesn't roll off a donkey—it soaks in. A wet donkey is wearing a soaking wet wool sweater against its skin. It sucks the heat right out of their body.

⚠️ 3. The Danger Zone Because they lack this waterproofing, a donkey can enter hypothermia in temperatures where a horse would be perfectly comfortable. Without shelter, this leads to:

Pneumonia (a leading killer of donkeys).

"Rain Scald" (severe skin rot).

Immense stress (look for the "hunched" posture).

📚 The Science: According to The Donkey Sanctuary (UK), the world's leading authority on donkey welfare: "Donkeys do not have a waterproof coat like the horse."

The Rule: A horse can stand in the rain. A donkey MUST have a roof.

Be a pal. Build the barn. 🏠🫏
