The Stimmler family moved to a farm about seven miles outside Clear Lake in the spring of 1927. When John was 6 years old, his parents got him an ebony pony named Dimple, who used to belong to a circus trainer in her youth. She could jump through a hoop, shake hands and go over barrels. In 1930 she was shipped from Minnesota to his sister, Bess Bonderer's family home in Avalon, Missouri. The pony lived to be 41 years old and was ridden by three generations of youngsters. She won ribbons at shows, and as late as 1955 finished fourth in the through-the-barrel race at Ludlow Lions horse show, ridden by Tom Bonderer. When Dimple died in February 1959 at the age of 41, an obituary ran for her on the front page of The Chillicothe Constitution-Tribune of Chillicothe, Missouri.
