Description
Brookstone babies are always special and I have a big soft spot for them. This grey filly was not only extraordinarily beautiful but with typical racehorse...ah...spirit. She wanted OUT and on the track and was furious that everyone else seemed to be going out but her. These horses KNOW when race day is. They can hear the announcements from the speakers on the backside, the roar of the crowd when one card reaches the finish line, and the jangle of bridles and chains being hung outside their stall doors. She's a competitive booger. And I love her to bits.I love my job, and I'm very fond of the athletes I work with.

I know I miss working with them every winter, and I am surrounded by them! (I live in a horse community, rural area).

As long as the horses keep this special spirit, Im really in love with them
Sadly there are so many dead-eyed horses out on the tracks too :/
But that's such an awesomely overcute photo

Agreed. I was very fortunate to spend the day, however, in the barns of a leading North American trainer and there wasn't a single dead-eyed horse in his barn. I've never seen an entire barnful of better looking horses, physically and mentally fit, anywhere ever. I was thoroughly impressed with his racing stable. That the man could tell his two-year-old grandson, "hey go get the lead chain and halter from the tack room for Zoose, he's up next", and the toddler ACTUALLY toddled over to the tack room, found the correct set of gear for that specific horse and then toddled over to the exact stall for the exact horse to hang it up on the exact hook told me this was a great operation...even the two year old baby knew every single horse (and there were DOZENS) and its tack (and this at a racetrack they'd only been at for a week so far), and every horse knew him. These were seriously athletic competitive animals, and yet every single one was eager to get kisses and pose for a camera. I know all barns aren't like this, but most that I've been privileged to be around are. Especially in quarter horse racing where trainers are often owners and breeders as well and care a great deal about their charges.
