I think you're probably right Dabney...although I'd like to think that I've
owned horses who would always love me :) What I'm curious about is where
Fred (aka Freiheit) is now....what kind of retirement was he afforded? He
was obviously (look at his record) ridden hard..some might say to within an inch
of his life...then sold down the road at an age when most horses would be
looking at some sort of comfy retirement life. So, the bottom
line...nevermind all the other stuff about how he never did another ride after
his big season of '95 (winning OD and Tevis in the same year and being sold for
big bucks) where the heck is he now? did he go to the killers or
what? Is he munching grass? I know he didn't do anything endurance-wise, but I'd
sure love to know he's ok.

my first buckle....he really was an impressive looking
horse)
