Oh, You beat me, I was racking my brains out, trying to remember the books I read as a 4th grader. Then, I remembered the author's name!!!

Walter Farley!!!! The Black Stallion!!!! I will think of all the other famous horses, I'll be back!!!

i know a few :)

phantom- Zorro

Tornado- Zorro

Brown Beauty- Paul Reveres horse

and cant forget about those Budwieser Clydes :D

oh and Duke (John Wayne)

Great! A horse-subject! :)

It's funny this, really! I just happened to look up a few names only the other day, just to see if there would be anything about the stars in some old books of mine. And there was! And I was wondering for a while why there never seemed to be much talk about horses on PT...

And then today when I have finally gotten my own computer back from the repairs and went to visit PT for the first time in - again - ages, what do I see? 1) that I'm already logged on and 2) the first subject that I notice is one about famous horses! Ha! I love you guys!

Here are a few famous trotters!

Hambletonian
Messenger
Greyhound

... I used to hang out in a racing stable on the local racecourse when I was a teenager... and as for Greyhound I have always been very fascinated by what seems to be a very rare occurrence of color in a trotter. In a trotter, which is actually any good, that is! ;)

Love,

LOL beleive it or not I thought of Red Rum, but then figured people might not know him, I guess I should have revisited him after i started putting links. He was in one of my first "Big Book of Horses" I had as a kid hehe.

There was also Gifted, he was something else. http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...37433378151442

Hey, what about Garth? He *is* famous in my book! ;)

I apologize if this has already been posted, but what about Barbaro?

Has anyone heard how he's doing? The last I heard is that he had his cast replaced on June 13 and it went well. (my date could be wrong, but I think thats what I heard)
