Donna Bennett, one of our Chestnut Cabaret Performers loves horses, singing and making pies

Donna Bennett on BJ and Allison Townsend on Gemm September 2016

Singing and Horseback riding are two of my favourite things to do. (Okay baking pies is fun too as long as it isn't "Too Darn Hot"). Singing and riding of course take practice and skill but is so good for the soul.  I love sharing a new song with an audience (equine or otherwise).  Before and after a concert I love to spend time with our horse BJ and donkey Peppe. They seem to like Andrew Lloyd Webber more than Dvorak but maybe it's has more to do with the type of treats I have in my hand at the time while humming.  Have you heard Peppe singing to the audience during a concert yet? He needs work on his breath support.
