Overview

Many people have asked me what it's like to own a racehorse. This blog is a play by play of one horse in particular. A three year old colt named In Over My Head that I own with my uncle...and although he doesn't have any dollars invested, my cousin is about as emotionally invested as humanly possible. It could end up being a story of success or failure, but if he's like all the others I've owned, it will no doubt be a roller coaster ride.

The Comeback Begins

Welcome back to the old blog. We aren't done here...not by a long shot (pun intended). As we speak, In Over My Head is enjoying a warm late fall evening at the beautiful Southern Oaks Trainng Center just north of Orlando, FL. As you can see in the picture, it is a wonderful place for a horse to spend the winter months. From what I understand, Mo didn't want to get on the trailer to head down (maybe he knew it was a 24 hour trip), but I'm sure when he go there he realized we sent him to a great place.

Before he left, Mo got a chance to hit the track down at Butenschoen's in Marengo, IL with Tyler in the training bike. To say he was a kid in a candy store would be quite an understatement. Apparently, he was throwing his head, turning around and doing a lot of 'talking'. I'm not exactlay sure what he sounds like when he's talking, but had I known he was going to put on a show I would have skipped out of work to watch those jog miles.

Now that we are back, I plan to put together more posts again (and longer ones than this), but I just wanted to check in and let the couple of loyal readers we have that Mo is OK...actually he is far better than OK, he's back jogging again and I'm sure he couldn't be happier.
