That's a tragedy.<br /><br />Being in Florida, we are lucky to have access to a large pool of ex-racehorses. As a former dressage competitor, I could not been able to keep riding as long as I did without my adopted ex-racehorses. <br /><br />Thanks for taking in your four. So glad you are giving them a great home.<br /><br />trisha<br />Miccosukeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10222273370558706333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8742758602823196909.post-90472505494405457102014-06-08T17:41:01.505-07:002014-06-08T17:41:01.505-07:00Your giant furbabies are livin' the good life ...Your giant furbabies are livin' the good life at Merry Wind Farm.

Someone mentioned Alydar. I never knew a horse had even placed second in all three races after Affirmed. But his ending is rather sad.

The magnificent and beautiful muscle movement in slow motion of a horse running makes my heart skip a beat. Unfortunately they are bred to have thin bones and strong muscles and many break during a race and have to be put down. <br /><br />Thank you for taking on these gorgeous creatures and giving them a happy home.<br /><br />Saundra Saundrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05442552781415793671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8742758602823196909.post-58239066632567018732014-06-07T16:31:36.762-07:002014-06-07T16:31:36.762-07:00This is both a sad and lovely post.
