Well I havent written in a while since I'm still having technical problems with photos etc. To bring yiu up to date: I have two horses running at Tampa BAy Downs at moment. Pi was off for almost a year with a twisted hock...done while frolicking in field. I wasnt sure she would make it back to racing and I will soon put up pictures of injury and healing process.She seems to be back to self..next few races will tell whether she can win that second race. I let Duffy off for summer and hoped that he would mature and be more interested in running, this, his five year old year. He is a big 17 hand gelding and I think needed time to grow into himself. All the other horses from that group were given away or deals made as they were not proving to support themselves. Leaveme a Roan is to be a pony horse...the best he ever did was a second on the grass at River Downs. He would not be competitive at Tampa so I left him in Ohio. International Guy was training very well in Charlestown butI couldnt stay up there for summer..(was there two weeks) and made a deal with a nice young trainer and his owner. He has been hitting the board and I hope to see a win soon. Zulu Prince was a disapointment so another deal was made and he finally broke his maiden in PA which was a good deal as he was PA bred. Hasnt done much since and our winter season at Tampa is pretty tough...well see..I wish him well..as with all my horses he left my barn very sound so if the spot can be found where he can compete he might pay his way. I tried Zaamtime a few times but she showed no interest in wanting to run and now has a fabulous home with girls who love her. If my horses show no ability to pay their way after I have tried them Long, short, grass, etc, then, since my home is Florida, I try to place them where they have a chance or can be riding horses. Some Thorouoghbreds are not meant to be riding horses but so far I have had luck finding homes for mine. I will be better at blogging now so come back and check in!

  3. Historically, equestrians honed their skills through games and races. Equestrian sports provided amusement for crowds and honed the superb acquisition that was required in battle. racing of all kinds evolved from impromptu competitions between riders or drivers. All kinds of competition, requiring strict and specialised skills from each horse and rider, resulted within the systematic development of specialised breeds and instrumentality for every sport
