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,
Sus and Bella
