LOL, Rock Hard Ten sounds "suggestive" to me.....

Anyway, saw a pretty mare in the banner above this morning, named Green Beene!! Is it me, or does she have a very interesting pedigree?

I like her a lot - wish she were further south.

Correct me if I am wrong, but Alydar got his name for the way Mrs. Markey would sign letters to the Aga Khan...short hand for Aly Darling.

If that mare is 17 hands her rider must be 7 foot tall. She is cute though, needs some groceries and some neck muscles but its hard to be choosy for $300.
