Hi Truman:

I am the person with the Trakehner "Faust" who was mentioned in a
previous message. We compete
here in Ontario, and in the NorthEast region and this trakehner has done
incredibly well. He is 16.1 dark bay, 10 years old, and has incredible
recoveries and a resting rate of 28. He has won a ride, won two best
conditions and completed the Old Dominion (50)
and Fort Valley (100), along with many successes and a lot of top tens at
other rides.

I have been reading the EN results and have noticed that there is
another trakehner in the S.E region
that has been doing extremely well. I would love to get in touch with Jim
and compare notes.

Trakehners are very versatile horses and have a wonderful
temperament which really helps them go the distance.
I am so impressed with my first one, that I have just bought another 4 year
old to bring along.

If you have Jim's address, would you please let me know.
