Pedigree Query

:oops: Thank you Laurierace and Toadie for correcting me. :wink: I was in a hurry and don't do alot of posting regarding breeding. I suppose I deserved that for all of the times I've picked on my SO regarding his grammar. :shock: I'll do better next time! At any rate, thank you KBEquine for the info...

Widow Quinn (2003). Excellent bloodlines, great Mom, super conformation, and an A++ cross with many stallions. Produced one colt by Buckle Down Ben, who just won his first race last week. Also has a 2008 colt and a 2009 filly by Say Florida Sandy. They are showing great potential. We are running out...

We'll never know the answer as to how sore the horses are that Gill claims, but we do know that he usually manages to "improve" them - for a short time, at least. What becomes pertinent is what he does to keep a "sore" horse running vs. what the former owner/trainer was doing: ethical vs. non-ethica...

Icouldbeu, While I see what YOU'RE saying, :wink: , I was not suggesting that you simply rely on one source, i.e. a forum, for your information. But rather, google it and read multiple sources. If I have time later (I do have a deadline to meet to keep my day job), I'll provide links. Bloodhorse and...

You really need to google Michael Gill, read the Paulick Report, and check out the Chronicle of the Horse racing forum. There are alot more statistics there and first hand information. We're obviously privy to alot more backside gossip, since PENN is in our backyard. We've been hearing the rumors fo...

Poor Laughing Moon. He ran here at Woodbine and I knew him personally as he was a favorite horse of one of the exercise riders. Very gentle horse. RIP We were there Saturday night. Laughing Moon broke down shortly after the finish line and was still viewable from the Grandstand. He took a hard fall...

Hi bridlewise :D Good luck! Keep us posted - it will be interesting to see if/when he does get a winter coat. We had one OTTB that NEVER got a winter coat. Year after year in PA he kept a beautiful coat -- no furriness to him whatsoever. He never seemed bothered by the cold, but then he was always i...

Now, SHE is funny! Smart lady - and very polite too. Have you considered calling her "Miss Manners"? :lol: Still figuring her out, soft hearted. :D You could have a point there --- she's not sure of anything right now since everything and everyone here is new to her, but even when she's scared ther...

LOL.......sorry madelyn. It took me a minute to figure out your question. "He" refers to my SO (significant other), aka boyfriend, barn owner or Bob -- whatever you want to call him. Someday perhaps he'll just make it simpler for me and be a "husband".

You're right........that would be perfect. It's about time for us to bring them all in for the night anyway. The first barn I ever boarded at was set up with stalls that opened to a paddock -- at the time I didn't realize how ideal and rare that was.

Just wanted to share a cute story (that could have been bad, but thankfully wasn't :shock: ) SO and I have pretty similar views on horse care -- we agree most of the time. BUT, I lean towards more pampering than he does. Example: my horses always had blankets -he thinks they're a bad idea for a numb...

Skip's Mystic was listed for sale in 2006 by Carousel Farms agent. She is out of Mystic Obsession who I have also been unable to find. The breeder was Cathy Cook in Florida.

Any info would be appreciated!! Thanks!

Thanks guys.....I thought we were going to have completely seperate them so that they could not see each other, but we are going to try it your way instead. :D I read on another forum that according to the Farmer's Almanac, there are better days each month for weaning -- it's supposed to go more smo...

OK -- I apologize, I know we've discussed some of this before BUT I think we are going to wean our foal in the next few days. She's waaaaay past ready to be weaned -- can you say butterball??? :lol: Our original plan was to take Mom to another farm, but I simply can't part with her. It seems so unfa...

Derby Lyn -- I am not trying to give you a hard time. I understand that some horses were not there as long as others and for whatever reason got through their ordeal better than others. I would hope that in a higher profile case like this, these horses will not go directly to auction. The SPCA is aw...
