It is so funny seeing him out there running his little heart out. I've watched some of his races too and it just blows my mind that my sweet lazy boy was actually a race horse and he actually won money. His racing stats are here if anyone is interested. He didn't win much money but it still says he is a winner! But he decided that once he was retired he was retired from running! it's very rare he will canter on his own, and getting him to canter under saddle takes some work!
But I just love those pictures though! Especially the second one where he is all streched out and looks like a fine tuned, supersonic speed machine! I just can't believe he is mine. He looks so young and fresh. My little racehorse! Below I posted some pics of him last fall. He looks ribby....but he only does that for pictures so people think I am not feeding him enough treats!
