I love horses, Fleetwood Mac and Mick Fleetwood!!
That pretty much sums it up in a nutshell but there is a lot more to me than that. Guess you'll have to get to know me a little better to find out the more personal stuff. I will tell you however that my newest "hot topic" is The Deadliest Catch TV show. It's a super show and nowhere on TV can you find a better group of "bad boys" than those crab fishermen on the Bering Sea!!! Ya gotta love 'em!!! I never miss an episode of The Deadliest Catch or After The Catch...and I mean NEVER!!!
I do get pretty fired up over stuff...some good and some bad. I have loved Fleetwood Mac for over 30 years now and I listen to them every chance that I get...that's a good thing. I love horses and horse racing...that's a good thing too.
I absolutely detest animal cruelty and/or neglect in any shape or form and I have been known to get real fired up over that issue...especially the cruel and inhumane slaughter of our horses. This beautiful country that we live in was built on the back of many horses. They have worked for us, gone into battle with us and died for us. They have given us countless hours of pleasure and happiness. They have loved us and trusted us. To slaughter them is a huge and unforgivable betrayal of that trust. Come on people...get it together and do the right thing for these horses.

In Memory Of Eight Belles, the beautiful and talented filly who triumphantly came in second behind Big Brown and tragically broke down while galloping out after the 134th running of The Kentucky Derby on May 3, 2008. Eight Belles...she gave her heart to this race and gave her life for this race. She will never be forgotten...
"As Though A Mighty Oak Had Fallen, There Is An Emptiness Against The Kentucky Sky"
"To All The Horses, Both Well Known And Unknown...May Your Spirits Run Free...Forever"
"Let A Horse Whisper In Your Ear And Breath On Your Heart...Your Soul Will Never Be The Same"
"The fact that man knows right from wrong proves his intellectual superiority to other creatures. The fact that he does wrong to these creatures proves his moral inferiority". - Mark Twain
