Winning multiple stake races with Crimson Hue - the most memorable - her first spring race after she recovered from Colic Surgery the previous fall. Crimson Hue , after nearly dying that fall came back to race at the highest level and win.
What I like about Thoroughbred Racing:
I love being involved with the horses right from foaling to developing toward racing
How I Became a Thoroughbred Owner:
As a child , my veterinarian father, Dr. Ken Abbey took me with him when he was paddock veterinarian on race days in Edmonton. I had a chance to watch the horses in the paddock as well as feeling the excitement and seeing the races from the rail.
Best Advice:
PATIENCE is important!!.You also need a strong team to help you and care for your racehorses , starting from the best farm care for your foals, young horses and broodmares
