Seeking pictures

I'd love to see a picture of the mare, Meriledo by Slewdledo, and one of the stallion, Here We Come (unraced) by Mr. Prospector.
Thanks.

I love this video--watch it often and send it to friends who say racing is boring. Glad to hear that she is well.

Not laughing at all, Shammy. I've seen many school/ kid horses "stay under" their riders. Heck, I'm pretty sure I've had a few stay under me!

It's interesting but can you imagine how heavy that wheelbarrow would be when filled with water?
I think I'd just get a longer hose.

My farrier was telling me about this the otheer day. Said he has a draft horse client who uses it on a Belgian who just won't stand still but after having this, his head is hanging and they can do anything with him. Seems like it could have some major potential for abuse, though, as in people trying...

The track in Iowa where my horse raced would die laughing if they saw my bill of sale. Does not match my horse, doesn't say breed and has wrong age. Nothing on it to identify this horse as the horse who raced at the track in Iowa at all and is just scribbled on a piece of paper. I think that it's po...

Not only eating contaminated feed but Japan is in such shaky shape right now that horse feed might become a very low priority.
I think Japan imports most of their (human) foodstuffs and I doubt that that small crowded country grows all its own animal feed.

Maybe write and email the JC and/or create a group to encourage owners to pass papers on with horse? To me, selling a horse sans papers just says the seller doesn't care what happens to the horse which casts a negative light on the thoroughbred community. I feel that since I bought CLINT, tattoo C05...

If I had a horse in Japan right now I'd want to get it out of there but I'm sure flying horses is not a priority right now.

This thing of selling horses without their papers so they can't be raced again is troublesome. Why not just stamp the papers "not to race" or something? That way the most recent owner could be located. The OTTB that I have did not come with his reg. papers so technically, the last person listed ther...

Bumping this up as I'd still like to talk to them about the horse I have that they bred. I had contact info but lost it. I'd love to tell them how much pleasure this horse has brought me and that he has a great home for the rest of his life here with us.
Any info appreciated. Thanks.

I have a 1999 gelding named Clint, by Here We Come (Mr. P) out of Meriledo (Slewledo). Haven't done anything with him as I got cancer shortly after I bought him and have been dealing with that but am now ready to ride so am looking for a trainer. Clint had 3 outs ($10,000 claiming) as a 4-year old, ...

I was thinkig how interesting it would be to have the skeletons of very successful horses such as the most successful, that Hungarian mare who won all 50-something of her starts. Or the barge horse who lived to be something like 50 years of age.
