Re: [RC] [RC] Horses!!! stop with the height - heidi

Actually I saw him several times. I also lived in Baltimore during his
prime. That was also the home of his main jock, Chris Macrron. JH had
all the things said about him that I mentioned. He is calf kneed. His
conformation is not all that good. His breeding is not "what produces
great TB's."  Bur for some reason he just kept winning and winning.

Again, "conformation" is so much more than legs.  He was in his late 20s
when I saw him, and he still had a GREAT body.  The legs are the least of
it--the proportions are what make them efficient or inefficient.  And he
had that in spades.

Actually gelding didn't solve the disposition problem. He got the name
John Henry - steel driving man - after he beat his feed bucket into the
ground after he was gelded. He ran Macarron out of his paddock at
Kentucky Horse Park at the ripe old age of 27.

No, it didn't solve it--but it at least made it possible to get him onto a
track.
