And, maybe it’s just me but I can’t find any trainer names on there or show results-except one gal in the New England Medals??? Long way from Central Ky.
The horses do look nice but…the ones that list prices seem high for an unshown prospect. There are some pictures of nice show horses but with no caption except that one in New England and that is just a persons’ name. Kind of odd. If I sold anything that won just about anywhere, I’d be plastering the results and the horse’s name all over a website with me listed as trainer in very bold type.
Seems there may be some questions about these people from others who are familiar with them. But can’t help with specifics despite showing in the same area for 16 years now-never heard of the Churchill “Hunt Club” and doubt they run any hounds.
Your right. We dont run hounds. We are a horse store and TB training facility. That is why we changed our name to churchill thoroughbreds. We dont do much showing anymore. Our daughter Geena shows somewhat. Its hard for her because she rides at Keeneland racetrack six days a week starting at five am. I showed from five years old until eighteen every weekend. All Medals,hunters,jumpers,jrs. Canada asled me to ride on their equestion team. I said know. 1. I ddint want to ride for another country. 2. I was simply worn out. I got married and had a family. Now I enjoy riding and training these young horses. I saved and found 200 horses last year alone good homes. I am happy with that. I love my simple life doing goods things for these horses. I have met the nicest people.
