Dixie looks amazing..<br />(seriously- Is that the same horse??? )<br /><br />So Dixie pulled and was barely this side of controllable for the first 15 miles...? I wonder if this is pretty "endurance norm" for alot of horses > Even if you have alot of other training built in. Is it just ot be expected that it will all go out the window on race day and . Maggie is so much this way and I just hate it.. I feel like it's doing bad things to her brain but maybe it's just part of the game.. thoughts?<br /><br />Jonnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11455369648954700046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773599297895528113.post-73009732150659316812013-03-20T13:39:43.005-07:002013-03-20T13:39:43.005-07:00Dixie looks amazing.
