                                                Vickie E. Holbrook
                                       January 3rd 1947 – March 17th 2014

                             Vickie Emero Holbrook born in 1947 in Bath, ME to Donald and
                             Mary Emero of Bath. Raised with siblings Stephen, Nan, Adele,
                             Curtis and Thomas Emero .
                             Beginning at the age of Eight when she started riding at Shirley
                             App Stable where she cleaned stalls to be able to ride, from then
                             she knew horses where going to be a passion of hers. Every
                             milestone or tragedy that may have happened she has always
found comfort and peace with her horses. The pony she leased as a young girl working at the
farm in trade was named ‘Sparky’, Her mother purchased Sparky as a Christmas gift when she
was 13. Unfortunately Mary passed in a car accident before she had the chance to give him as
a gift that Christmas. When the years came she out grew her pony Sparky, She gave him to
her good friend Cohne Goodwin. During that time a friend that was moving away gave her the
opportunityto own her first horse “Pal” a Saddlebred Belgian cross . In the summers before she
was in her college years she worked at Camp Vega for girls in Readfield as a stable girl for two
summers. Along with going to college in the fall at Northeastern Business College she stayed
with her grandparents in Cumberland on their operating dairy farm that was only a couple
miles from the Cumberland Race track. When she was not attending classes for Accounting,
she would ride her gelding Pal to the Cumberland Race track and this is where she developed
her interest in Harness Racing. She was hired to clean stalls and jog horses as often as she
could, so on her days of work she would ride Pal to the track from the farm and tie him in a
stall that was free so she could learn the ropes of Harness Racing. After College and working
at the track for a couple summers until she graduated with a degree in Accounting. She found
a home for her beloved Pal in Woolwich and until she was able to purchase land of her own
and built a barn . She met her first husband Harvey Munsey In the late 60’s while she was
building on her newly purchased land in Woolwich. In their marriage they had two son’s
Donald Munsey and Darren Munsey. The Marriage was not working out for the best and a
divorce was filed. With a home and child to support she began work at BIW. While taking care
of her home and family, she was having work done on the property during then she met Lester
Richard (Dick) Holbrook Jr., They were married in the winter of 1976. In 1977 their son Evan
Holbrook was born. The late 70’s early 80’s she built her farm Holly Acres Farm based around
the Hackney pony breed and working with various other gaited breeds like Saddlebreds and
Morgans, however she never excluded any breed. While working with her farm she also
became a member and held a position in many associations. New England Pony Owners and
Breeders Assoc, New England Hackney Assoc , Maine Horse Assoc , Maine Saddlebred
Assoc. , Downeast Horse Congress, New England Horse Council and many more. Vickie did
many of her years of competing while being apart of these organizations, accomplishing many
titles with her hackney stallion Chocolate Beau. The talent and abilty she had with her horse is
just one of her many wonderful traits, not only could she get just about any horse to do just
about anything. The kindness and size of her heart will never be measured. Over the years
she opened her home to many kids from different life styles and provided them with what they
may have needed. Giving riding lessons, taking kids to horse shows, being an after school
hangout and even just an ear to listen. Vickie did not have a lot to offer but she offered what
she could and that was her heart. In the late 80’s Vickie got news she was pregnant, This was
obviously not planned however she was over joyed none the less. The thought was all along
she was going to have a boy, to her surprised she finally had a girl. Nov 1987 Hiliary Holbrook
was born. In more recent years the love of horses has continued, interest of breeds started to
switch from the gaited to more of the stock horses like Quarter Horses and Paints. However
her activity with horses never slowed her daughter Hiliary took an interest in horses also.
Switching Vickie’s role from horse owner and exhibitor to a “Horse Show Mom”, seen all over
the state of Maine and New England. In 2003 she moved to Whitefield , Maine with her
daughter. While living here she held a job at the Pittston Town Office and also later was a
Cleaner of a local bank in the evenings. All while taking care of the 20 acre horse farm , North
Meadow Farm. North Meadow Farm was not only her dream but also a home for Cattle,
Chickens, Rabbits, Goats and even a Peacock , among many other types of various other
animals. Vickie E. Holbrook not was but is a woman with a passion for many things. An Artist
with amazing talent, there are many drawings and paintings to prove her natural ability.
Painting was not the only thing, sewing, knitting, building, crafting and more, are just a few of
the things she could tackle with grace and touch of beauty just like herself. She will not be a
simple phone call away , however she will hear every one of us and be giving us advice just
the same as if she was here. She will be missed, but never forgotten.
