OUR RACE HORSE "ROCKET"

The other day Natalie was telling me that our horse trainer's son Dee let his little 2 year old ride Rocket our race horse. I was flabbergasted, I thought this guy must be nuts. Race horses are usually high strung, and not the best natured creatures in the world. Rocket was running on the track this past summer. Below he was the fastest qualifier in the up coming Derby. He ran fifth in the Derby, the horse next to him acted up in the starting gate and that affected him, or he could have won easy. He ran 400 yards in 20:22 seconds, and today he is giving a ride to 2 year old amazing.

Rockets win picture in Idaho in September. A kiss and thanks for the ride, Rocket is loving it.

Hang on tight little buddy


Rocket has become a gentle giant and he is for Sale!
You could of fooled me I have never see a race horse so trust worthy, and if you look at his ears you can tell he is paying attention to the little rider on his back.

Update, Our trainer sent these pictures of his little grandson on Rocket and the people purchased him. I hope he is a good horse for them and they give him a good home.
