Oh, I like John Henry. One gusty gelding (and a mean one to boot!)

John Henry...a horse that actually ran more than 5 times a year. Hows that for a concept!

I have a picture that I took at the Horse Park of John Henry, he was looking right at the camera, "if looks could kill", I would post it, but it was before I had a digital camera.

Old John Henry set a lot of records. I hope he is destined to set one more...longest lived T-Ro. I think 37yrs is the record.
