A Special Request from My Nephew


My nephew, Matt, is a special guy with a special request.

He inherited the family "horse gene," and would like to see a picture of his Thoroughbred race mare, Sophia's Dancer, on Aunt Juli's blog.

Well, why not? Sophia's Dancer won one of her races last season, and an overjoyed Matt got to stand proudly with her in the winner's circle. A little extra fame and renown can't hurt.

Matt's parents raise Appaloosas for the show ring, so having a Thoroughbred race horse on the place is a tad out of the ordinary for them. But, as Matt readily points out, "A good horse is a good horse!"

Can't argue with that. So here she is: Sophia's Dancer!

I'm a dyed in the wool appy person who now has a Morgan, two Welsh ponies and a Thouroghbred/Welsh cross! Lost our old appy in the fall, he was 26. Doesn't matter what breed, they all are great!

Thanks so much for the info about obtaining a print of that picture that I put on my blog!!!! I'm going to contact them and see about getting one!

Beautiful horse Matt!
