Harness horse racing should be banned. It is an absolutely pathetic sport and is dangerous! A sport just waiting for a disaster to happen. It looks stupid and is stupid. I've got an idea, what about actually sitting on the damn horse?
The only time she paces is when she gets all hyper. I know she comes from pacing lines, but why is her preferred gait a trot? I know she was at the track, but never raced. I guess she wasn't fast enough, huh?
I have had her for 9 years now and have 2 colts from her (half-arabs) What would a brand 1-2 mean on her neck? I haave her lip tatoo, and traced her and actually got her papers. Can a standardbred person please let me know why my mare has never been able to CANTER no matter what?!! She's a great trail horse, she trots so big I pass everyone, even those at a gallop, lol. She is big and bold, and SANE.
I have a standardbred mare who is a grandaughter of albatross. I bought her from a horse rental string who'd gotten her from a meat auction. She is a pleasure horse, but more of a pet. Do all of them get brands on their necks? I noticed one in the video had one, just like my horse does.
my standardbred mare doesnt have a neck tatoo. she also has a big stride. try lotsa lunging, and a circingle and such and she might. its natural for them, but you will have to teach her what you want from her. good luck! she sounds sweet :D
I saw most of Albatross' races live throughout the USA. One of his owners was a very close friend of mine, and I have much of the horse's memorabilia including a trophy from the day he went in 1:54.4 twice, a world's record.
WOW! That's really neat! Miss Escada looks like a feminine version of Albatross--only she's a regular bay, whereas, wasn't Albatross a black bay? Do you know how tall he was, and any personality quirks he had? Your experience with Albatross's races and relationship with his owner puts you in a position of some rare knowledge! Please share! :))
what a huge field..no starting gate..little different than american harness
