"Hmm well with the way this guy looks right now, he does remind me of this horse i rode in Florida, infact looked exactly like him except this horse was related to Secretariat not Seattle Slew" She said , "To bad he had to be put down he would have been an extrodinary animal just like this one".
Re: Dark Lilac Farm [pg 13]
Sherray nodded and signaled dizzy when she reached the six furlong mark she let him have the rein and nudged him ever so slightly with her heels . Dizzy seemed to almost jump into the gallop once she passed the end mark she slowed down dizzy and walked him over to carley . " get me a preacher and rent me a hall I think i'm in love" she exclaimed patting the horse's sweay neck " His gaits are wicked smooth" she said seeing michelle and mandy she smiled " Hi how are my two favorite girls doing " she asked continuing to walk dizzy around
Oh, this is the start of something good
Don't you agree?
I haven't felt like this in so many moons
You know what I mean?
And we can build through this destruction
As we are standing on our feet
So, since you want to be with me
You'll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
You to stick around
I'll see you everyday
But you have to follow through

Re: Dark Lilac Farm [pg 13]
Carley nodded. "They trained him for jumping, too," she said. "I jumped him and he has a powerful jump. So, if he's not good at flat racing like they say, then I think I may try steeplechasing."
"Okay," Michelle replied for both herself and her sister. "Can I ride him?"
i hate it when you talk to me, and the way you cut your hair
i hate it when you stare
i hate your big bad combat boots, and the way you read my mind
i hate you so much it makes me sick, it even makes me rhyme
i hate it when your always right
i hate it when your lie
i hate it when you make me laugh, and even worse when you make me cry
i hate it when you're not around and the fact that you didn't call
but most of all i hate how i don't hate you; not even close; not even at all
Re: Dark Lilac Farm [pg 13]
still waiting to find out how carley thought they did Sherray dismounted walking him around.

Re: Dark Lilac Farm [pg 13]
Carley turned her attention to Sherray and let go of Mandy as the little girl squirmed in her mother's arm.
"That was great," she said, walking over to horse and rider. "How did he feel?"

Re: Dark Lilac Farm [pg 13]
Carley nodded. "Yeah, they conditioned him well," she replied. "Tomorrow we'll run him for a full mile and we how he does. Sound good?" She didn't wait for an answer from the jockey. "Meanwhile, do you mind taking care of this guy and then tacking up two horses so you could bring Michelle out for a ride? Mnady has her very first lesson today and that's going to take up much of my time, so I can't bring Chelly."

"I'd love too" Sherray said smiling she began to walk Dizzy towards the stable " so Miss michelle who do you want to ride today?" she asked

Re: Dark Lilac Farm [pg 13]
Looking around the big place Andrea sighed then hugged Ebony. Quckley pushing herself away she shook her said then thought "Andrea you promised not to be close to another horse after what happened to Sacred".
Feeling a lump in her throat as she thought about her beloved mare she quickley walked past everyone else and put the filly in her stall. Running to her truck she leaned agianest it and felt a tear trickle down her cheek.
"I wish i could have said goodbye to you Sacred" She whisperd looking up to the sky.
Re: Dark Lilac Farm [pg 13]
Michelle walked along side Sharray, deep in thought. She hadn't been able to pick what horse she'd wanted to ride. Her mother had always put her on a small, roan pony, Rebel. She hadn't really liked him, but never argued.
"Can I ride Hickory?" she asked Sharray, speaking of the white large-pony.
Carley watched them leave and suddenly a blur ran past her. As the blur got smaller, she soon realized it was Andrea. She saw the girl duck into the barn and out again. She decided to follow her.

"of course luv" sherray had been born in england though she moved to the U.S. when she was 14 and she had a very thick english accent.
"So you can canter right?" sherray asked smiling

Re: Dark Lilac Farm [pg 13]
Michelle grinned up at Sherray. "Yes!" she said. "Maybe I could try a gallop today. Of coarse, not telling Mommy."
Carley heard her talking. "Say goodbye to who?" she asked softly, appearing next to Andrea.

Re: Dark Lilac Farm [pg 13]
"Sacred Heart" She whispered. Looking at Carly she hoped she knew the once famous filly if she didnt Andrea would have to give the famous turf fillys life leading all up to that one moment. Closing her eyes agian she saw the beautiful bay pounding around the track winning the race by fifteen lengths. Shaking her head she looked at Carly with a sad face.
Re: Dark Lilac Farm [pg 13]
"we'll see hun .. have you ever jumped before?" Sherray asked as they entered th barn
she put Dizzy on crossties and began to groom him.A groom apeared behind her.
"I'll take care of him miss" he said
"thankyou very much" sherray said smiling and walked over to were Hickory's stall was. A few stalls over was one of her horses. She had three in all and this was her newest. A young chestnut half thoughourbredhalf morgan. She patted her horses head.
"You know butterfingers righ?" she asked michelle reffering to her mare.

Re: Dark Lilac Farm [pg 13]
Carley nodded slowly. "She was an awesome racer," she agreed. "Great turf horse. Good confirmation and bloodlines. Too bad she died. Would have made wonderful babies."
Michelle nodded. "I've only jumped a crossrail, though," she admitted. She then kicked herself for saying that. She also nodded at the horse. "And, yeah, I know the horse. Why?"
Re: Dark Lilac Farm [pg 13]
"she's my baby and I'm going to be riding her and it's " she laughed and winked " you can tack up hickory ok right?" she asked as she opened Hickory's stall door. She stroked the horses neck as he let out a whinny

Re: Dark Lilac Farm [pg 13]
"Yeah she would have, and she would be running beside her first foal if it wasnt for me" She whispered grasping onto the small crumpled picture of her beloved mare in her pocket.
Re: Dark Lilac Farm [pg 13]
Michelle looked at the large pony. He was taller for Rebel for sure, but she would just stand a tack truck or find something else to stand on.
She nodded. "Sure." She pulled the horse from his stall and hooked him in crossties. She then ran down to the tack room and grabbed his saddle, bridle and saddle pad. Once she got back to him, she pulled a bucket next to his side and started to tack him up.
"What happened?" she asked gently. Mandy was twisting in her arms and she put the small child down.
Re: Dark Lilac Farm [pg 13]
"It was a snowy cold day in New York one of those perfect days, snow falling lightly to the ground and Sacred getting ready to race, well we where in the sixth race a stakes race called the Belmont Surprise. It was her first race after the Breeders Cup Turf and after an award winning season and i had thought that Sacred was ready for anything and so we had just broken out of the gate and I had let her take the race like she wanted and of course we won but i pushed her to hard and..."She said crying now.
