This is our song, and this one's for you ♥ [03:07]
So I went riding yesterday and came out with some ok clips. Yes, before you ask I'm stil riding Amazonic. I'm not gonna let one little fall knock my confidence, I've been riding for too long to let that happen. Amo was being a total star until we came to the last fence of our jumping course. Once again, she refused. I wasn't happy as I'd thought she'd have got over it by now. The jump was around 2ft maybe? Yet she still refused. My instructor lowered it (not for my benefit, but for the horse's - which is the most important thing) and she went over it smoothly. I'm sure she has a slight fear about big fences but I'm not exactly sure why. But, oh well! Nevermind, it was still a great lesson. I actually got told to get into a "jockey position" which is basically just a jumping position without the jump, hehe. First in trot, then in canter. Amo was such a happy pony after her extended canter. Being an ex-race horse who can blame her? I bet she misses her racing days, eh? We've also had a great and exciting surprise come to us on the 21st of April. Check out the "Little John Paddock's latest edition" video to find out! :D

Coastal - 1979 Belmont Stakes [02:58]
Following directly after Seattle Slew and Affirmed, the racing world looked poised to welcome a third consecutive Triple Crown winner. However, it was not to be. Whether you attribute the loss to a controversial ride or an injury caused by a safety pin, Spectacular Bid is typically considered the best Kentucky Derby/Preakness winner to fail to win the Belmont Stakes. Coastal took advantage to take the victory. Final time: 2:28 3/5 Owner: William Haggin Perry Trainer: David Whiteley Jockey: Ruben Hernandez

Birdstone - 2004 Belmont Stakes [02:59]
The largest crowd in the history of Belmont Park assembled to see if Smarty Jones could become a Triple Crown winner. At 3-10 he was one Smarty Jones was one of the shortest-priced favorites the "Test of the Champion," has seen. A very New York team of Marylou Whitney, Nick Zito, and Edgar Prado spoiled the party as longshot Birdstone rallied late to deny him. Final time: 2:27 2/5 Owner: Marylou Whitney Stables Trainer: Nicholas Zito Jockey: Edgar Prado
