There are some really wicked stories LG, many of them would not be believed, just like I rarely tell the story of my life anymore.
However, on the subject of breeding....
My father owned and rode horses bareback.
My fraternal grandfather owned and trained horses.
He also trained greyhounds and was so successful, someone snuck into the barn and poisoned all of them!
He won a huge purse one day picking every winner for the card on looks.
He bought a castle called Clarina Castle with his fortune (demolished in the 1960's).
My fraternal uncle volunteered with riding for the disabled in Ireland in retirement.
And then there's me....The Green Monkey
