Man O’ War and The Kentucky Horse Park
As I think about all the things I want to make sure my friends see when we are at the Kentucky Horse Park, the Man O’ War Memorial is at the top of the list.
There is a ring of plants and flowerbeds around his bronze statue. As you walk around, there are several tablets that tell the story of Man O’ War. They tell about his undefeated record, but the most memorable one for me, is the story of his one loss. He got boxed in by another horse and jockey, which by the account I read, was absolutely on purpose. But, the thing I remember wasn’t that he lost, but the jockey that beat him regretted his part in it. He knew he had helped ruin the record of the obvious King of the Sport.
As devastating as I know it must have been for Man O’ War’s team at the time, I hope they were able to realize that that one unfortunate race did not sully his accomplishments in the history books.
This is an amazing rare footage of the great Man O’ War, so beautiful!
Next time I’ll share some other highlights of my first visit to the Kentucky Horse Park.
Until then,
Naturally,
Susan

Young Girl practicing her Natural Horsemanship with Fuzzy Grey Horse
I always really wanted to ride my horse without bridle or rope-halter … the feeling of freedom is why I wanted … we started learning how to ride the way like this, and I have to say, it is FANTASTIC! The feeling, when the horse goes where you want, only because of a little sign … The other part is work from ground, which is now about give the horse the most soft hints … not easy also. I have to say thank you for my riding trainer, who helped us learning Parelli’s method.
