ADVANCE FOR SUNDAY, OCT. 9, 2016 - In this Aug. 11, 2016 photo, Mary Jefferson poses in her home in Marshalltown, Iowa. Upon entering Jefferson's home, visitors' eyes are immediately drawn to the horse-related decor in her foyer. But her love of equines doesn't stop there. Shelves, tables and cabinets in almost every room in her house are filled with horse-related memorabilia, including, but not limited to: scale model horses, clocks, cookie jars, bookends, tables, lamps, paintings, plates, stuffed animals, Christmas ornaments, figurines, sculptures, plush toys, wall hangings, My Little Pony, rocking horses, salt and pepper shakers, bottles, candy, yard decorations, five full-size carousel horses and even a couple of piñatas.
