That's the case for Lisa Bcan. The South Huron District High School student has had a passion for horses since she first took les- sons a number of years ago. By the time she was 13, Bean owned her first Arabian horse and has been ac- cumulating them ever since. But it was just last December that the pas- sion transformed into a bit of a business venture. With the help of her father, Gary Bcan, she was able to set up a train- ing and breeding operation with her Arabian horses. As well, she final- ly had a place where she could keep all ten of hcr horses together. Over the past fcw months they have been doing a bit of work on the 13 acres of land on Simcoc Street that was purchased for the horses. They put up new fencing, built stables, put some finishing touches on thc riding arena and are in thc midst of reconstructing the Karn. By the spring, Bcan and friend Cam Darling expect to be busy training and breeding the horses. "This year we had one birth, next year we're hoping for three," Bean said. While Bean has only been work- ing with horses for six years and an owner for four years, she said Dar- ling has quite bit of experience with Arabian horses having trained in Oklahoma. "It's a lot of hands on work and it's something you learn simply by doing and talking to others who have experience," Darting said. Both spend a lot of time with the horses getting them ready for horse shows which run almost every weekend from May until October. Right now, Bean is preparing to show seven of hcr horses at the Ex - Above, Lisa Bean shows her six-month Arabian colt which will be going to the Exeter Fall Fair.

Tool rental business kept alive in Exeter Gabby Mol bought up Hurex's stock to strike out on his own with Exeter Tool and Rental EXETER - Gabby Mol is con- vinced there is a need for a tool and rental business in Exeter. That's why, when Hurex relocated out of Exeter last month, he bought their rental equipment and opened Exet- er Tool and Rental at the opposite end of town. Mol said he wanted to keep the rental business "alive" in town, par- ticularly through the fall season, and moved to quickly set up shop , before Labour Day. / He said he will be doing repairs to small engines and chainsaws, and all power tools, as well as look- ing to establish retail sales of tools for those wanting to equip a home workshop. Mol said that with more and more people becoming involved in do-it-yourself home projects and woodcrafts, he is looking at a growth market. "A lot of people are into that now," he said, and even added he may offer some cuts of rough wood for those who want to start a finc furniture project "from scratch". A family husincss, Exeter Tool and Rental will be expanding its stock of rental and retail equipment as demand warrants to cater to eve- , ryonc from the person who wants to add a deck on a house, to some- one needing a special tool for a craft or hobby.

Although Bean doesn't sec breed- ing and training as a full time ven- ture until well in the future, she said owning the horses has been a great learning experience. And hcr father agrees.
