Sen. Lois Tochtrop has ridden for decades so why is she hanging on to the reins like she just saw the horse scene from Animal House?
Because that’s the way you do it with a paso fina horse, she said, explaining the breed is known for it’s incredible gait.
“I call them the Rolls Royces of horses because the ride is so smooth,” Tochtrop said.
Tochtrop is sitting astride her horse Gypsy in a photo taken for her campaign brochure. She faces Republican Luis Alvarez of Thornton in Senate District 24.
