I've heard of it. In fact I owned a couple of teams, Cutter horses, or chariot horses. They're quarterhorses and the races are short and fast. It's a big deal in Utah, Wyoming, some in Montana, Idaho, Colorado and a team or two from California.

I know, I overuse this smilie >>> :-2 but it suits me.

What part of Utah? They have the World Finals in Cutter Races in Ogden-last weekend in March and first weekend in April.

We owned the world champion (twice) Rene's Reb

Now that looks fun.. I could get into this sport. I actually got hooked on curling this last Olympics it grows on you..

Yes. Snooze, the cutter races are done on the snow and ice. They were originated in Thayne, Wyoming and they only have 2 days of summer.

Toga!

Have to put those extra sheets to good use!

Yeah!

Cutter horses are bred to cut cattle. They are usually foundation bred (that means they are from old lines.) They are well bread quarterhorses...

Now.. I don't know what the hell I am talking about.. because I don't like horses very much.. they are big, and they bite!! But Lilly (that's my woman) likes them alot!! We have a Cutter horse.. Jodie.. I say "we" but it's her horse.. I just pay for it..

Lilly's favorite game lately is to point out a horse on t.v. or anywhere really... and ask "What kind of horse is that?!?!" then giggle at me endlessly when I don't know..

Good times... :-5

Arabian horses, so beautiful. I went to Cal Poly, Pomona, and all they have there are Arabian horses. I loved seeing them everyday.

Captain Ray, my sister in law in Kansas did that kind of cutter team stuff and I'd never heard of the other kind until I moved to Wyoming. 'Course I never heard of a lot of things until I moved to Wyoming. These Cutter or Chariot races are actually run on the snow and even if there's a blizzard howling around them they slip and slide down the track. As long as it's 10 above zero.

What name did you race under, Nomad's Northern Dancer?

:wah: That is good, Zapata!

No wonder I lost that race in the 5th back in '77.......................

yea

that and some other really cool names

I cant remember all of them right now though

How could we bet against Nomad's Northern Dancer?

I think we bet on Arnold's Arabian's Nights, it seemed a sure bet!

Lilly says that Northern Dancer is a top thourougbred stallion.. she had a mare that was a grandsond named Danagay... she does dressage now...

Coincidence.. I think not...

Raymond

Dressage is so pretty to watch. We only get to watch it on the Olympics.

Nomad, what are you going to dress-age up as?

Lilly sounds like my kind of gal. My brother works at the horse farms in Kentucky. They raise the Thoroughbreds. I saw them when I was there in May for The Derby.

Next time you go to the Preakness, you can stop by me in Baltimore.



Now I wonder what other names Nomad raced under?

OK Chons-You're on. I have a brother in Kentucky, for the Derby, another brother in Baltimore, for the Preakness and nobody in New York for The Belmont! Drat! Know anybody there we can sponge, er.. a..visit when we go to The Belmont?

Hmm, I bet someone on here lives close by............................

The Preakness is such a big event here, the competition for us ladies in the milliner's shops is fiercesome, fighting over the bonnets.

I saw some of the bonnets for sale in Louisville. Wayyy expensive. I made my own: my red cowgirl hat, which has a red feather and I festooned it with black net. It was quite fetching.

I'm sure you would like her.. but if I tell her about this web-site.. she would probably tell you all my secrets!!

Raymond

You don't mean Lady Dar? Surely Nomad is not a filly.

Oh, he's definitely a STALLION!!



No, I meant Alydar.



(Ruffian was a filly, too, that's why I rejected that one... sorta!!)



Here's one:



HOLY NOMAD!!!



:yh_giggle

Of course, Alydar. He's buried at Calumet, the farm where my brother works. I saw his grave when I was there in May. And graves of some other VERY famous horses. My brother has a story about Alydar.

YOUR BROTHER WORKS AT CALUMET?



You must have seen Citation's and Whirlaway's, then...



Ever read a book called Wild Ride? It's pretty good...



Poor Alydar. Anybody out there remember how he got his name?

Yes, Val-I saw the graves of some great horses. Video taped them, too. I heard that Alydar was named for Aly Khan. Never read taht book. Good one, eh?

Rita Hayworth used to always call Prince Aly Khan "Alydar".



Hey Snoozie... love the way your thread got jacked?



Chariot race, chariot race, chariot race.



Yeah, now we're back on topic!!

Speaking of remembering stuff, does anyone remember Bubs Daddy chewing gum ?

I chewed some once while driving a chariot.



Er, wait, was that the stagecoach? Might have been. Oh wait, yeah,

it was when I was driving the stagecoach. I remember now 'cause

something spooked the horses and they took off and I accidentally

swallowed it. The gum, I mean.



I betcha it's still in my tummy, you know that stuff never goes away.
