I am a gorgeous thoroughbred mare in the cosmos who puts the MARE in nightmare! I'm about riding, racing, horse care and the pop culture zeitgeist!

Our Triple Vanilla, aka Pie is an absolute peach!

Gorgeous mare, the Secretariat is strong in her. 🥰



Definitely Pie's Butter Board...

We adore American Pharoah, but we think the same about Nileist...

No denigration intended to the Triple Crown winner, because he's handsome, but I think Nileist is better looking than his brother.



Since we're nearing Halloween, we must share a fave pasture film for the season. Drag Me To Hell starring @ActwithAlison and directed by Sam Raimi. You gotta like Raimi's film making, oh it's such fun!!! youtube.com/watch?v=PPOaxH…

The year I had only my legs trimmed... It actually ended up being very good for my tendons and ligaments. Go figure. K said I looked like I was wearing bermuda shorts.

I loved galloping on my sand track. K held on and off we went! Retired thoroughbred race horses love to exercise, some in arenas, some on trails, some in pastures. Freedom of movement and consistent human companionship make a difference!…

Every thoroughbred race horse needs a pasture to call home and a person to love them. After racing is over, their life is only beginning, regardless of a second career or not. They touch the hearts of many species and make the world a better place.…

Jason's @BeemieAwards account is one of the finest to follow in horse racing on X.... Wonderful, emotional, realistic and heartfelt man of adventures...

In Dec 2018 - my weight at an all time high (320s) and my diabetes not well controlled - took a health sabbatical from pastoring, and we moved to Arkansas for family reasons. Had been away from horse racing since 2006. As I re-engaged with racing, the @BeemieAwards podcast became…

How true!!! Some of us are blessed to have horses in our lives or in some form, at one time or another! .

Rescuing or retiring a thoroughbred off the track can produce some of the best friendships on the planet. K and I had 15 years together and life was great fun! Horses help bring out goodness, kindness and positive aspects of life.…

Pie is obviously a chip off the block of her grandfather...

I remember the story of Tiznow's last work before his second classic when he refused to go for about 45min until he decided he was ready❤️



This is the look you get from me when I think you're full of sh**. K got this look from me a lot when she brought up limiting my deglet noor date intake, increasing my exercise by 15 minutes, and telling me slime and red ants are not for eating.…

All of us, regardless of species, meet Surfer on our own terms, as Surfer will often answer us with a reflection of ourselves as we are in that moment of meeting. It's one of his talents which allows him to communicate clearly. He's intense and effective.…

Our Pie, whose racing name is Triple Vanilla, displays many aspects of her ancestors, including Secretariat, Terlingua and Storm Cat. She's solidly built with a clever talent for barrel racing turns. She does however, continue to dislike coolers and blankets.…
