Technically Reason is related to half of the starting field in the Derby through his paternal grandfather, Mr Prospector, but he was related to Bwana Bull through Rea's maternal grandfather, Hail to Reason, which was much more impressive to me, since EVERYBODY seems to have bred to Mr. Prospector!!!

I get up 6 days a week at 4ish am to leave the house NO LATER than 5am to feed the poor abused animals before I go to the real job as a Vet Tech at a Veterinary Hospital. I wish I was AS tortured as HRH Reason to Shout; heck, he works at most an hour at a time 2 or 3 days a month because his personal handmaiden has to work to keep him in sugar cubes and has little time to ride (aka, torture!) him!!! So, yes, I am quite proud of my torturing and love to brag about it to all and sundry! ;-) Hey, we could really get off topic and talk about whether cats or dogs are the smarter animal! Personally, I vote for cats, since you are OWNED by a cat and never own one of them!! Sandy, THT (for 27 years this October, when I sat on one of the beasties for the first time! Been torturer and torturee ever since! ;-)) Dogs are smarter.

So, who do you actually think is the smarter of the two? Cat wins hands down on that one!!! Sandy, THT (owned by two cats as well as the "tortured" horse!) |
smarter. I have seen the pigs and the military employing horsies and mules
and doggies and even dolphins, but never tabby cats for anything.
Have you ever seen the pigs riding horsies for crowd control? That may not
be as glamorous as the Derby but one horsie sure can move a whole lot of
people to where they should be and four horsies can really move a way big
bunch of people. There is just something about 1200 pounds of bone and
muscle that means business that influences a crown of nice people to do the
right thing.

that fact and had to look up and see if Danzig was even still alive.
He died last year at 29, so Hard Spun had to be in one of his last
foal crops. Just goes to show how the horse racing game has changed,
in that not once during any of the pre-race stuff was Hard Spun's
lineage mentioned.

untrainable, but they actually can be trained. They are just
motivated by different things than the others of which you speak. And
speaking as a horseperson of many years and experience, horses are not
terribly intelligent; trainable and very valuable for many things, but
not bright! Some of those former police and military mounts make
their way into Therapeutice Riding situations upon retirement from
active duty, where their bomb-proof natures make them a natural fit
for handicapped riders.
