The Miracle Mare: Spent time today with Rosie, the amazing five year old mare, rescued by the great folks at Cracker Box Palace in North Rose, NY. I’ve been documenting this heartwarming tale since last autumn. Rosie was an estimated 24 hours away from death having been horribly neglected—the horse she was rescued with did not survive. The nurturing folks at Cracker Box Palace at Historic Alasa Farm restored Rosie to her luster. As noted here, just under a month ago she was adopted to a new, loving home. Tomorrow morning here on the page I’ll have an update on Rosie—she is doing GREAT! You’ll meet the new owner and learn what they do—it’s a comeback story for the ages, a “Miracle Mare”’indeed!

Michael Matz & JET RUN After Winning The Valley Forge Grand Prix 1978.

Jet Run was bred to be a racehorse, but he had other ideas. I believe he actually came dead-last in seven races. When he was introduced to the jumping ring, you could see how much he loved it and that he’d found his forte. He was just six years old when he won his first grand prix, and his career escalated from there.

He had numerous victories, titles and medals under several top riders before he retired at age 16, but he achieved his greatest success with Michael Matz with whom he had an especially close relationship. Once they were paired, the two really blossomed together. He loved to win and he loved the attention it brought him in the winner’s circle.
