Posted on by [email protected]
The Best Horse I Ever Did See I am saddened to announce that longtime resident and breed ambassador Dancing Spunky passed away June 19 at the age of 32 years old.  He touched many lives and did more than I can illustrate here to promote the Thoroughbred and retired racehorse breed.  “Punkie” was kind, gentle and always willing to do as asked.  He was smart and able to pony any...

What do you do with a four-year-old barely broke to ride Thoroughbred that spooks and cribs? That horse was Mystical Harbor, or “Fellow” as we call him.
