Ok, back from Italy. As always great food, great wine, good weather etc. You do get tired of eatin all that fancy, expensive stuff though and just long for a good stake and a cold one!
Saw a bunch of nice colts though as we visited a couple of Europes finest Standardbred breeders. Being surrounded by all that history is pretty awsome too. Stayed in a beautiful old fixed up farmhouse from 1500-something. One of the farms we visited was actually an old mansion from Venice´s hayday. Really cool place! A main building built like a castle with the main stairs designed to make it possible to ride or drive a coach up in to the house and the main hall!! A 1,5 mile wall surrounding the farm and the pastures and stables inside the compound. Pretty cool deal.
Glad to be back home though with family and horses. Saddled up Brady and took him for a spin yesterday. Didn´t feel a 100% so we just took thing nice and easy. Was shod the other day and might´ve been a little tender footed. Will check him out again today and give the fillies a lookover.
