    Fine looking horses, Ron! and daughter too!

    Not long out of college, I spent many summer weekends and a full winter with friends on a working farm in upstate NY. One of the daughters, who was a little older than I was bred horses and raced the Thoroughbreds at Saratoga.

    I feel in love with a 2-yr-old filly, who seemed to feel the same about me. I so wanted to buy her, but I lived in Manhattan at the time. I thought I could keep her in my bathtub. It was the only large space in my apartment. She was short and stubby, so I thought it might work. I was informed that the horsey term for "short and stubby" is "closely coupled."

    I could tell other stories about my riding, but they're just too embarrassing.
