SWLY is on van back to track!
 

Chuck has picked up Sumwonlovesyou from Bluegrass Equine Center and is at this hour on her way to the Spectrum to resume full time training. Now 5 and away from the track since September 2007, the daughter of Came Home out of Mysterious Moll was clearly excited boarding the van according to Chuck. (Almost as excited as Bethani was to get her off the farm.)

Awesome, would be great to see her race again.

great, great news. can't wait for her return to the races.

Sumwonluvsu(Turkish translation)

Very good news. Sounds like she's anxious to get to work.

Let's hope all goes well.

VERY cool...

Great news.

Thanks Steve.

Wonderful news! :)

Thats great... lets hope everything works out fine.... Lets go Team Simon!

Well the queenie arrived back to the barn safe and sound. She is a very hairy and a little chunky but looks really good. She will get clipped tomorrow before going to the track. Of course I have the honor of getting on the beast tomorrow, that is unless I can entice Bethani to come from the farm and play rodeo with her tomorrow!! Judging by what Steve said in the first post she probably wont except the offer. I will try to get some pictures of her and have them posted tomorrow. Your prayers on my making it back to the barn would greatly be appreciated.

when/if i begin praying again, you'll be at the top of the list.
good luck with her-sounds like you might need it.

Great news that Sumwon's back in training, interesting that it's almost two year to the day since she became the first DeeTee purchase.

Cherie, I'm sure that you will get her back to the top of her game soon. I seem to remember that you and Chuck had to teach her many things when she first came into the barn

The original girl, can't wait to see her!

good luck and safe laps in getting our "old" girl back to racing.

great news indeed!

i've been telling everyone, my daughter was very happy to know she was finally heading back.

I think you mean fat....:) The boys have a hard time understanding that just because they are looking for more hay doesn't mean they actually need it.

:)

She can be a begger. She already started in for the peppermints when she arrived. You should just beat those boys with a stick!!!

hang a peppermint in front of her bridle when she's racing, a bit of an added incentive.

I assume we are talking Churchill Downs, right?

How long, everything going reasonably well, will it take before she's ready for a race.

I for one will do everything to be there.

Woo hoo! Great news. Can't wait to hear how the wrangling session went with Cherie and Sumwon.

Dont encourage her

You mean Sumwon... Or Cherie?

Thebby
Cherie said to hit the boys with sticks
Is it that big of a stretch to believe that may not occur?

Kickin to work shortly
Dont expect any land speed records

How many times has she hit you with sticks?? ;)

I can't hit them, they already run crying to Chuck about the verbal abuse. Somehow they got the idea that he actually gives a sh*t.
They wouldn't have lasted the day @ some of my former jobs.

probably not enough.

put the attack dogs on their asses!! LOL!

:D :D

I've dropped a saddle on a grooms head once, yes on purpose. I was then threatened that I would have to go to anger counseling if I did it again.

how did the "rodeo" with Sumwon go?

attack dog? what, the guy laughs so hard and long, he can't see where he's going and walks into a hole or something?

did you explain you don't need counselling to figure out how to get angry??

He deserved it trust me. Sumwon, although tq'd (quite heavily) was full of herself. She came bouncing out of her stall and jogged with the pony. Nothing too exciting and we both survived.

tired quickly?

No.. TQ'd = tranquilized. So they don't try to do too much because they're so excited to be out.

That's how she injured her knee to begin with... trying to do too much.

duh - that makes more sense
