Par4QC I'm sorry to hear that she is still pissed about that. I can understand about the money being too good.

    Walterjn She always loved grey horses, so I found this ratty little filly and done some, literal, horse trading for her. Had her for a couple weeks before I started her 1 Sunday afternoon. They always announce the horse owner's name during post parade and my wife's jaw dropped when they said her name. Fun times. Raced like crap that day, but eventually turned into something really good, which I could see she would. The filly bailed out a failing operation, so the wife was forgiving, to a point. Memories are still there though.

      Par4QC my boss pulled an older mare out of a pasture. Took a little bit of work, and that mare was a good show horse and a better breeding mare. That mare was the dam for more than one good show horse for my boss. She started to have issues walking a few years ago and we did everything we could to help her heal. She was old and retired by that point, boss decided that we were losing that battle and not making that mare any better so we did the best thing we could for her. Boss had her tearful goodbye, and called me. I'm happy to report that I was the last person that mare saw, and that she was with someone she knew and trusted.

        IIRC the HP420 was a venture by Horsepower Golf (FGI member Pat Dempsey) and SMT. Pat also participated in the Long Driver Senior Division.

          A quick story about Mr. Dempsey. He came out to one of the DS to do an exhibition. Afterwards, I asked him to sign a golf ball so I could put it up for a raffle to raise money for my son's hockey team. He gladly obliged. Then he asked me for my address and said he'd send something else.

          About a week later, one of those drivers showed up with a letter.....He continued to send a driver every year until my son graduated!
