Another Blow To Sheik Mohammed

Anybody see humor in Hollywood horse of the year, Comma To The Top as a Ocala Sales yearling purchase in 2008 for $5000.00. The Sheik possibly took notice. And, nice to see the In Excess line through Bwana Charlie alive and well!
Training: Sun. 12/19: Being unable to catch 'em, and having enough of the 15 year old running from me, we went into our Monty Roberts "horse whisperer" routine last night. Trying to catch them in the pasture was coming to that. I dislike Roberts chase 'em till they break method. While that beats tying a horse down to break their will, I prefer to gain their cooperation instead of breaking them, if possible. This night, through the 18 acres of our field the chase lasted an hour before I collared the lazy one. Chased Groovin' Wind, age 15 another 20 min before darkness gave the win to Wind. Oh well. We'll see how they go tomorrow. Got in some fast licks in the beginning, but another day lost for tack work.
