He's really kind of surprised me. He's always been nice, but I never could put him in that special category until the last 60 days; I've rarely seen a horse put it all together the way he has. I told Mr. Lewis the other day that he's trying to make believe that he's special. This guy looks like more like the mare than anything she has ever had.
He's a very nice horse, correct, a good mover. He's not a big horse. He kind of looks like his pedigree. She (his dam) is a Blushing Groom mare. I'd be surprised if he didn't go over well.
It's a very sad day. It's a bad day for the whole human race. He died peacefully and I think the Lord rewarded him for the kind of person that he was his whole life, for the kindness he had, and he died in his sleep with his family at his side.
Quality is very strong?as strong as I've seen it really. The ones they want bring a premium; the ones they don't want do not. It's very selective.
She's got the conformation; she's got the pedigree; she's got the class. She's the kind that doesn't come along very often. I can't fault her. At the top end of the business, a horse has to keep climbing the ladder. Ever since the spring, every month, she matured and she headed the right way. They don't all do that.
Yesterday he won a race and that put a smile on his face. That's how he was to the end. Nothing changed. Really he never seemed as old as he was, but I guess it was his time to go.
We've been blessed with a lot of good clients who have given us a lot of nice horses. But Mr. Lewis gave them to us in quantity. The impact he had on us was huge. He gave us a lot of top-of-the-market horses. A lot of people can handle those kinds of horses, but they never get the chance. He gave us the chance.
