This would be more correctly titled other marriages. We
owned a few thoroughbred horses and since horses have a
distinct preference for women, I took care of them. We had
a thorough bred stallion named Flying Drifter and he was my
favorite. When people came to look at him, he put on a fearful show, pawing the ground and giving the chilling stallion call and scaring the bejesus out of people.
One time I fell down in the pen where two horses were fighting
and saw my life flash before me. They didn't slow down...
they jumped over me.
When you watch the Super Bowl on Sunday, look for the tiny
Clydesdale Filly. She is a beauty. The Budweiser Team is
so thrilling to watch, manicured to a tee, with those huge
hoofs.
There is a lot of heartbreak when you love animals but it
is always worth it for the rewards. When we had a horse
racing, I always worried about them. Racing is a cruel
sport and horses break down at the track. This is one
reason that I don't go anymore. I attribute this to trainers and owners who want to get every bit of mileage
that they can out of a horse.
