Sumwonlovesyou September 2013
 

I returned last week from a trip to Maryland to see Sumwonlovesyou and her children: a 3 year old filly, and a 2 year old gelding.
They were in a pasture with six other horses. I called her name and she ambled over to me.




This is her daughter, who is very sweet:


Yes, she does look a lot like her mother, as you can see in a side-by-side shot.

And she does have just a shadow of the same marking on her forehead like Sumwon.

2 year old Medallist gelding
 

Here is Sumwon's son, a 2 year old Medallist gelding (I called him Squirt):




He was curious, but not quite as friendly as Sumwon and her daughter.
Here a family portrait... the best I could get:


Until you try, you don't realize how hard it is to get two or three horses to look at you for a picture.

All in all, I really enjoyed my trip. I got to visit four days in a row.
On the fourth day, Sumwon and her daughter followed me as I returned to my car. It was very hard to leave.

Y'all come back real soon.

thanks so much for this! i was wondering how they were, great seeing sumwon.

She looks beautiful. :{>:

Very cool.

She never suffered from lack of attention when she was racing and likely misses it, along with her peppermints :)

Thanks for sharing.

what is the plan for the two youngsters? do either show any sign of racetrack potential?

Jonathan,

Thanks for the pictures. She was a special horse. Always loved visiting with her. I do need to make it down to MD to visit the herd one of these days.
