Agreed. That bay mare & filly look like they were well taken care for at least a while. They are both beautiful. Add me to the 
list they got a good landing.

That’s a FANTASTIC way to get them a good home!

That guy at Bowie who rides the TB mare, man he’s got a great seat! The mare canters off at a great clip from a fast trot, and his seat seems to stay glued to her back.

I’m impressed a guy would jump on a TB with those withers bareback.

She is a cutie. Not making excuses, but a lot of racehorses are bred as businesses commodities and in partnership. Things happen all the time like someone dies, someone goes bankrupt, whatever and the horses end up being dispersed to dissolve the business. It’s super unfortunate when horses get treated like other non-living assets because it makes it all too easy for them to end up places like Bowie.

You’re right. That’s why mine all have instructions in my will so if I drop dead my DH doesn’t have to wonder about what to do with them. Which reminds me I need to add Nosey. Any aunties want to be my yearling beneficiary?

Send her to me, my cynical old Irish horse will raise her. You can send Henry right along too. He wants to be my mother’s horse. He told me.

This is what I thought too! Yow. And then trot and canter on that bony spine.

She has breathing issues, i think. Look at her effort on exhaling and her flared nostrils.
There‘s also a tb in his mid teens on there now who allegedly came from a family who used him for jumping, if anyone was interested in looking
This guy? He looks like a lot of fun, if my oldies were not giving Methuselah a run for his money, I would probably snag him.

Just checking in hoping for another weekly update pic (or, let’s be honest, any pic of Nosey - I’m not…picky 
- I’ll show myself out)

Get her out of TX?
One wonder if the heat/humidity isn’t helping?
Then again, it’s now hot/humid everywhere.

Oh for sure it doesn’t help. I am just noticing the issue.

I think when you have had a horse with COPD you are really sensitive to this issue and can recognize it pretty easily. After my COPD pony I sure do.

Bingo. That face said I can’t breathe. I know it far too well.
Chippy waiting on the drugs to kick in.

It’s not hot and humid in Colorado. It’s just hot, and that just during the day. Our humidity is extremely low. My last driving trainer’s mini came to her because he couldn’t breathe in Georgia. He does fine here.
Unfortunately, moving has so many factors going into the decision. DH and I moved here in 1994 because we didn’t want to raise our daughter in Pasadena, and the Denver area had a lot of the same attributes as Flagstaff does (we both loved Flagstaff and met there). We found we had a bonus that there weren’t any fleas–they live underground with the prairie dogs, but can’t survive above ground because the humidity is too low. Our dog at the time was allergic to flea bites. It wouldn’t have made me decide to move with an 11 month old baby, no job, no place to live, but it was a nice bonus. And the job and housing fell into place very quickly.
I’m sure the “get her out of TX” comment was more tongue in cheek, and I’ve responded as if it was a serious suggestion. Forgive me for that, and the threadjack.
