Got a chance to see SWLY yesterday. Boy, is she impatient! I couldn't get the peppermints unwrapped fast enough. She was so impatient she started kicking the stall with her left hoof until I delivered. Once she got her mints she was as sweet as ever. She made a friend for life with my wife. Her next door stallmate is a big colt named Elite Squadron who's going in the Amsterdam today. They had to add a partition above the regular wall between them to keep them apart. Maybe that's her new beau. Anyway, she looked and acted great.

I'm glad the "non-horsey" owners get to meet Sumwon, and put a face and personality on the horses going around the track. Hey PMac, if your kids draw pictures of Sumwon, you have to photograph them and post them here - would love to see them

Thanks for all the pictures and the Sumwon and Saratoga stories!

That's why I said "STOP THE PEPPERMINTS" she now enjoys being pet and that should be enough. If she ever hurts herself whoever is feeding her the peppermints at that time should pay the vet bill.....And scavs is right her kicking action is a lot more vigorous, requiring a matt so she doesn't dig a hole and she's getting real close to that metal hook. This is not a cute habit.

I didn't see her laying one time I was there. Probably because she knew that candy was available at a kicking notice

The few times that I saw her in the barn, she was too busy begging for mints to waste her time laying down. LOL Words can't describe the beauty and intelligence of this filly... the Dee Tee Stables partnership got really lucky with this one, guys. She looked sound as a dollar and very happy. Can't ask for much more.

Chekhov was across the barn from her on the other side and he also enjoys peppermints. These are some spoiled horses!

I bet Scavs erased the cute pic of himself with the black smudge on his nose.
