Does he cuddle with them afterwards, and promise to call them the next day?

According to Laura Hillenbrand, author of "Seabiscuit", the Biscuit's dad, "Hard Tack", was quite a mean (or at least troubled) horse.

I always remember hearing that Ribot was crazy and mean. And that they couldn't ship him back to Europe because of it.

Rock Hard Ten is one mean sob. Oh wait sorry we are talking about horses

Bout 6 or 7 years ago Hoofbeats (the US trotting assoc magazine) did an article about dangerous standardbreds. There was a story about a mare that I seem to remember could only be approached outside from inside the farm truck. She was finally put down when she almost killed someone...wish I could remember more details, they had some pretty crazy (IMO) routines to deal w her. I would have shot the bitch and been done w her.
Whoever said Dynaformer is a gentleman in the shed was fed a line of crap by the groom...he's not much better on the mares than he is on his groom.

I've read about a Standardbred stallion--I think Nevele Pride--that had to be led by two grooms, one on each side, with the proverbial ten foot poles!

As for Hard Tack--the Fair Play line was notoriously difficult, although I never read of Man o' War being mean.

friend of mine was doing a little story about sunday silence for fox news.......he was clueless, and sunday took a good size plug on his shoulder.
