It's fantastic that you became a yearling. I'd like to stay a suckling as long as possible.
The puffy shirt was good didn't you think Jerry looked just like a pirate in that?


Haha. And just what would you like to be suckling. LOL.

I just saw that movie Dreamer. Does anyone know if the horse Grand Slam who was to be Sonjador's first Beau was the real Grand Slam or just an actor horse playing Grand Slam? He was a stunningly good looking horse. Giant's Causeway was in the movie too, was he playing himself? The actor horse who played Sonjador should have been nominated for an Academy for that portrayal. And Gary Stevens not getting nominated in a supporting role for his portrayal of George "Iceman" Woolf was another shun.

Hey Flowing Tail, it sounds like you take lots of pictures and have access. Would you be able to take a picture of Barbaro mounting his first mare when that day comes? Just for commemorative purposes. I would compensate you highly for that. I am hoping it is Megahertz. She is a teeny, weeny mare and Barbaro wouldn't have to raise up so high to perform his manly duties. To ease pressure on his hindquarters, I would book him only to teeny mares. I am already salivating over the possibility of a Megahertz, Barbaro offspring. Barbahertz or Megaro. I would love to have a panoramic of the Barbaro, Megahertz mating placed above my big screen TV. That would be incredibly cool.

You know what's funny, and this is seriously 100% true, I just saw "Dreamer" for the first time this weekend!

To me it looked like the "real" G.C. I have seen him a number of times and he is like a statue, so perfectly built. Definitely the best-balanced horse I have ever looked at in my entire life; a veritable muse for a horsie ogler like me. (I also goo-goo Jo'burg and he looked correct thru the stall door in the movie as well.)

Rumor is that it might NOT have been the real Slam, though. Not sure on that one.

Sounds like you would really like to get your hands on this picture. How much do you pay. Anyway that might be a tough show to get tix to but I will try if the price is right. Good idea on Meggie although I'm sure a big announcement will be made when he is ready to breed hopefully next spring??

Thanks for the tips. We have a while to wait still on Barbaro and his possible stallion future. I am interested though. Don't you wish you could go back 65 years and photo Whirlaway. THat was one flowing tail and he was a bit of a crazy horse as well as an additional bonus.
