Apollo - The Horse
Named after the Greek god of sunlight, prophecy, music, and poetry, Joel and Keersten Nichols' favorite horse Apollo inspired the name for Apollo Design Technology, Inc.® The name implies the fusion of intellectual horsepower and elegantly conceived candlepower that characterizes the company.
“Apollo was very personable,” Keersten says. “Everyone who met him – horses and people – loved him. He was part of our family for 23 years.” One of her favorite memories of Apollo involved his weekend employment for a horse-drawn carriage service in downtown Fort Wayne. “One evening,” she recalls, “his driver forgot to tie him up. Apollo figured this was the perfect opportunity to quit work early and go home. When the driver came back, Apollo and the carriage were at the far end of the street – hung up on a fire hydrant. Apollo had successfully jumped the hydrant, but the carriage had not. Joel and a friendly policeman helped free the carriage so Apollo could get back to the barn for dinner.”
