Bought myself 1/2 A racehorse!
I bought myself into a racehorse last weekend. Bought a half share in my mares 1st foal, and we will race him next year in the fall (he's a June 12 baby so will likely not start until fall 2005) Name is Taylor Made High x Whos Bad QH. I am very excited!
Congratulations, Shannon! Partnerships are a great way to share successes (and expenses) with friends. We always developed tight bonds with our partners and every race day became a party, win or lose.
So your horse is an appendix QH, correct? What track(s) will you compete at?

So many pedigrees...so little time. (C)
He is an appendix QH gelding, barn name Winston. We will most likely run him here in BC for the most part as one local (1 1/2 away) is updating their facility and bringing QH racing here back to life. He may well run in Alberta as well at Lethbridge and Grande Prairie as he is eligible for the Alberta $100,000 Futurity as a 2 YO and the Derby as a 3 YO. I guess we'll wait and see what he tells us he wants to do! My partner is a vet that I work for so I have no worries of him being pushed too hard or run into the ground. The trainer owns the stud so he'll want him to do well too. We ran him through a sale in Lehbridge last weekend and prices were just not there for him so we decided to give it a shot ourselves. I think he's got a lot of potential and if not, I need a new riding horse soon!! I will keep all informed as we progress. Right now he is enjoying pasture life and being a baby. Reg'd name is Taylor Made High.
