I can only imagine how difficult it was for all of you before he found that connection. And it's even better yet that you've all grown to enjoy watching actual horse races together.

I've never seen the BB movie. I'm going to go put it in my Netflix queue. We'll be sure to watch for the placards. :>)Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16602096751376024068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471107802247799161.post-3895763580650908912011-05-04T14:48:53.571-04:002011-05-04T14:48:53.571-04:00That is really Sweet.

I'm overjoyed that I have had two occaisions this year to coo over hats (the royal wedding and the derby)!Grace Dukenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471107802247799161.post-69455731317798811132011-05-04T14:38:02.180-04:002011-05-04T14:38:02.180-04:00Hey, Andrew, who was that?

I was a horse girl, though I n...Aww, this is sweet. I was a horse girl, though I never had a cowboy hat. Black Beauty is one of my favorite childhood books, and I loved the movie. I also went through 2 intense horse-racing stages: one in elementary school and one in high school. I've been to the Belmont Stakes.<br /><br />In any case, I think it's wonderful your son bonded with the horses and that it's opened up a new world to you too. For another great horse movie (but less of a kid movie), you should check out Seabiscuit. Classic underdog story, and it's a true story that took place 10 min away from where I live. They even filmed chunks of it at Santa Anita Park. I also recently watched Disney's Secretariat. Also based on an amazing true story about arguably the greatest racehorse ever, and it's more of a kid movie.<br /><br />So yeah, if you ever want horse-related recs, I can try to help out. :) Enjoy watching the Derby! I wish I still followed that stuff sometimes.Krispyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09492607213249874138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471107802247799161.post-21307205495103045532011-05-04T13:47:27.274-04:002011-05-04T13:47:27.274-04:00My sister would have plastic horses they would pla...My sister would have plastic horses they would play with so vigorously that their legs would break off.Andrew McPhersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14032520632202283089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471107802247799161.post-89155001938935397562011-05-04T13:17:59.779-04:002011-05-04T13:17:59.779-04:00I enjoyed this entry and can relate, like many mot...I enjoyed this entry and can relate, like many mothers of horse loving daughters. I never did catch that horse fever when I was a girl,either, and was nonplussed about the unmitigated passion of it in some of my friends. But now Heidi, our 12 year old, has been bit by the bug very hard, and I have been learning a lot of interesting things about these creatures. Not enough to swoon, but enough to appreciate and enter into her enthusiasm a little more.<br /><br />That's fascinating about Matt's fix of BB to make it through the night for you guys. 3hrs is pretty rough for long term. And yes that fire scene is pretty intense!Heather Millernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471107802247799161.post-25294236157250806222011-05-04T11:44:13.854-04:002011-05-04T11:44:13.854-04:00I've been an animal person, but when you find ...I've been an animal person, but when you find something your kids love, you start to gravitate towards it yourself.Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00685341739870191402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471107802247799161.post-10459831977590486862011-05-04T08:28:36.499-04:002011-05-04T08:28:36.499-04:00Nice story!
