Beginnings

As a friend once said, “I can’t believe I’m

do something, I hit him across the butt with the rope. Funny,
if my daughter didn’t know how to do her homework, I would
never consider hitting her for it.”

friend.

You're Incredible - Nonfiction by Hayley
"He was easily 17hh,
and very skinny. His ribs poked out; I could count all of them.
He had a rough coat that looked more like a bay than a chestnut.
His paddock looked like a bomb site -- it had old cars strewn
about, and I couldn't even locate a water trough. There wasn't
a shred of food, only dust.

How a Missouri Foxtrotter changed the life of her owner
I had not slept through the night in almost 20 years, was haunted

Education in Pinhooking
Hugh Mooney describes his first experience buying a racehorse:
The idea is to
buy a Thoroughbred yearling at the sale coming up next month
then sell it at their May, Two-Year-Olds In Training sale. She
would provide the training up to the sale and I would provide
the cost of feed, shoeing and vet bills. And, at the end we
would split the ‘big’ bucks equally.
