Hi
I had a guinea pig that looked so much like your Smudge that they could be siblings!!!!
She was the same colour and same pattern. She was the pride and joy of our family, who would have thought something that small could be such a big part…

- A Bit About Me and my Horse(s)
- I have a 5 year old standardbred stallion that was to be ready to race by now, but has developed a stomach problem. Athough he looks great, he has struggled with his stomach issues, and for a year it put his feet in jepordy. While he still has stomach issues, we have worked and found ways to solve some of his troubles, and are still working to try and come up with a solution to resolve his serious colic problems. He has qualified 5 times and has a qualfied record, but has not yet raced as my husband has to use him to get his licence back (point system). We hope to race him in a few weeks. After three years it will be pretty awesome to see him in his first race!!! To look at him you would think that he is world class and he is top bred (Rustler Hanover-Puccini Blue Chip (full sister to Gallo Blue Chip- Richest Standardbred of All time)). Che was not only bought to be a race horse, but to event as well. He is 16.2 1/2 and is really beautiful. He is a late foal and really big for a standardbred- in fact he was the youngest foal in the forest city yearling sale. Che has been broken to ride lightly, and we will get serious this spring if his stomach issues allow for it. We named him Che after Che Guavera, and his real name is Tiocfaidh Ar La, which means Our Day Will Come-- in Irish, a phrase coined by Irish Rebel Hunger Striker Bobby Sands. We bought a second horse that is off for his second winter due to tie up, in the hopes that Tattoo can help pay the bills. He did well last year, but this year has been a struggle due to no fault of his. We laid him off the entire winter due to tie-up and brought him back last spring, with little success due to poor driving comunication. Currently we are breaking him to ride and it is going super. Tattoo's name is Da Plane Boss, a play on his sire's name Island Fantasy I would think (we didn't name him). He is really sweet, loves attention, blankets (he froze most of his life), and black licorice. We recently bought a sweet large pony sized stb The Stealth, (aks Steal as in little iron horse-- tough as steel-- lol). He is really cute and our first trotter in all these years we had always stuck to pacers. It should be an interesting experiment to see what we will think of a trotter in the family. :)
I am an animal lover and a family person who has been married for 22 years. I have a dog-- Mara, and three fish.

Lucy said… Hi Debra
Just saw your message- I purchased my standardbred from a summer camp that was looking for him to go to a farm where he would either be an only horse or with a smaller group as he has trouble getting along with other horses and usually ends up getting picked on. I was looking for a horse that might get along with the cows and so far it has worked out perfectly.The woman I bought him from received him from his original owners who had raced him. He injured his suspensory ligament and therefore was unfit to race so after about a year of recovery time they gave him to her to turn him into a riding horse (very responsible owners).
He is fits in nicely having no other horses around and just adores the cows. And yes we do have lots of fun together.
was looking at your pics and your standardbred is quite the looker- and very friendly looking guy.

brigit kavanagh said… - Hi Debra, I don't have my own horse yet! Just took up riding last Feb when I turnesd 50. I have always wanted to ride & just didn't have the time needed to devote to lessons... & there were really no barns etc.. nearby when I was growing up in Buf,NY. I now live in an area where there are plenty of places to ride so I decided before I got any older I'd better do it now. I will be leasing a horse & if all goes well then I will buy one. Nice to meet you!

Thanks very much, her name is Netherbrook Dawn, aka Joules. We worked hard on that costume and my daughter received second place at the fair. She is a lovely welsh pony who puts up with a lot every year when it is costume class time. God bless her.
