Subject: RE: BS: The wonderful one horse thread. From: Ebbie Date: 18 Feb 05 - 01:34 PM Beadie, the beauty of a trotter in full stride can still make me cry. I am dismayed every time I see a movie showing horses pulling stage coaches or buckboards at a gallop, rather than at a trot. No horse trainer or owner worth his salt would allow his 'hitched' horse to break into a gallop, except in emergency. |

Subject: RE: BS: The wonderful one horse thread. From: beadie Date: 17 Feb 05 - 02:18 PM Ebbie: When I was a kid, my folks owned a boarding farm for harness racing horses that ran on the Chicago tracks. For a time, the sire of the "Hanover" line was resident and standing stud on our place. I don't believe that he ever won the Hambletonian, but I know his name was on several later winners. Dusty (a stable name, I think) was a huge animal, but as gentle to us lower forms of life as any puppy. |

Subject: RE: BS: The wonderful one horse thread. From: Ebbie Date: 16 Feb 05 - 07:45 PM My father was a horse trainer and he bought, sold and traded horses all the time. When we came home from school we never knew whether a favorite horse would still be on the premises. One trotter (NOT pig knuckles) that came off the track and that we had for years was named 'Trueboy'. One of those human-oriented animals that prove and disprove a lot of misconceptions. I'd love to see a thread with first-person stories of horses and dogs. |
