Hey there Y'all... Shake The Dust's barn name is/ was "Shakey." I just don't think that's the greatest name for a horse... So I'm going to start calling her "Shay." It's still girly and still part of her show name, I just think it sounds a bit better... Let me know what YOU think :)

New Horse!
Well Folks! I just purchased Shakes The Dust!! She's my very Own! I bought her with my own money that I've made, and it's the first horse I've owned since I was about 12 years old. She is an off the track Thoroughbred, 12 years old, her grand-sire is Gone West (I'll attach the link to his youtube sight below). His stud fee was $150,000! Nope, I didn't accidentally add too many zeros! But, the BIGGEST bonus of it all....... "Shakey" is 5th generation SECRETARIAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yes, THE Secretariat!!! The world record holding Secretariat!! The Secretariat who's movie premiers next month. Anyway, she is a great horse! I truly believe we're a match made in heaven, just like me and Brian. I took her out for a 2 hour trail ride yesterday (first time riding her) and she didn't spook at ANYTHING, even the dog that ran out in front of us barking! There were cars driving by, motorcycles in all their glory, bottles on the ground, and other horses running up, and she could have cared less! I'll be doing some finishing work with her since the only thing she know is how to be a racehorse and how to go on trails, but she has the sweetest disposition ESPECIALLY for a Thoroughbred! I hope ya'll will follow along as Shakey and I grow together. I can't wait to see what the future holds for us!
Thanks for reading!
