Howdy Folks!

Last year at this time, we were just winding down In Over My Head’s racing season.  Unfortunately, there are no races this year.  Our original thought process post injury in July was pretty dire (his career is sadly over).  However, at this point we are seeing this as a nice break to repair and refresh of the equipment before comeback version 2.0.

While I really enjoy people coming back to check out the blog, I have to share with you the following piece of information:


I apologize to those of you that traveled a long way to get here, but at least I sent a security guard out to great you.  What moose was he referring to?  Well our marketing department decided it was not a good idea to place one of those guys outside of Mo’s official blog site…I’d hate to have any of you go through what this family went through.  Such disappointment:


All National Lampoon’s references aside, thanks for continuing to surf your way over to Mo’s blog site.  Good news is that he is going quite well.  He’s enjoying his time up in Mineral Point, WI at the old horse barn.  His leg is healing very well and we are more optimistic than ever about his return to the track next year.  He won’t be doing much of anything for another couple months, so when I write my next blog entry it will have to be full of unrelated (or very loosely related) references to 80s and 90s movies.  If that is something you enjoy, come on back because before you know it we could very well be back on the roller coaster of horseracing with our favorite horse as the star.

Before I sign off, I thought I’d leave you with one more clip of an often forgotten star of the National Lampoon’s movies.  Cousin Eddie.  Enjoy and Let’s Go Mo!

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.
