Alex had tonight off, but K over at
Kiss Me I'm Irish got me feeling nostalgic about our beginnings, so I dug out some photos not previously shown here :-) Enjoy!
Alex's Daddy:
 |
Afleet Alex
Winner of the 2005 Preakness & Belmont |
Alex's Mommy:
 |
Colonial Glitter
Winner of the Bourbonette Breeders Cup (by 10+ lengths!) |
Below are photos I randomly found and ordered of Alex during his racing days. He never broke his maiden, so there aren't any win photos :-( But if he had, he might not be mine :-)

Alex during his time in Florida:
 |
| "Stall rest is boooooring" |
 |
| "Look at my pretty profile" |
 |
| Bath Time! |
 |
| "Hey you over there...whatcha doin?" |
 |
| Round Pen Time |
 |
| Having a roll... |
 |
| "Oh my gosh, did you know I'm off stall rest?!" |
 |
| Sleepy Pony |
 |
| Noms |
 |
| "Come on, I want you to run so I can chase you!" |
 |
| "Whatcha doin?" |
 |
| "I am NOT annoying the donkey... promise" |
Alex's Trip to Kentucky:
 |
| All wrapped up and ready to go |
 |
| Getting on the van, rolling in style :-) |
 |
| Spending the first hour with Alex in his new home :-) |
 |
| Alex surveying his new paddock |
 |
| "Kentucky grass... nom nom nom!" |
It's amazing how he has changed since his arrival and yet stayed the same in some ways :-)

ReplyDeleteAh how awesome! I found race pics of some of my project babies but can't find any of River--someday I'll go on a serious stalker campaign of his past. :D
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos!
ReplyDeleteI have found that the least successful racehorses make the best riding horses :)
