He couldn't have learned to run like that in his afternoon races, so I assume you taught him to rate and finish in the mornings. Awesome job!

And you are in the horse business. If you moved back there, even if you were sipping drinks on the beach, being tended to by a very attractive man, you'd get tired of it.
You'd miss the hoofbeats pounding and the smell of hay and oats. You'd miss getting on those nice horses and wondering if they were gonna win the stakes race that weekend.
You'd be back!!!
Ah my friend the thing is I lived there for 2 years and after the first few months I didnt even think about horse racing or watch it on tv. I didnt know who won what and didnt care and if I wanted to pet a horse or ride one there are plenty on the island. It is the life for me , I didnt appriciate it as much as I should have while I was there and if circumstances were diffirent I wouldnt be back at the track, such is life with unexpected turns. Ill get back there some day , somehow some way, its island life for me, lol reminds me of the Greenacres theme.

Well in that case, I hope you find the sandy beaches you seek and never smell another oat again!!!

Hawaii can make you forget about anything! What a place and I have only been there once.

What island are you going to Honu? I have only been to Kauai.

Best of luck to the Tin Man next time and have fun on your vacation.
