http://harnessphere.ustrotting.com/service/displayKickPlace.kickAction?u=4267113&as=34997 "They were the best of times-they were the worst of times"-these words describe my journey into harness racing..We always had riding horses growing up,they were part of the extended family.  I started out with the standardbreds cleaning stalls at 14 (26 years ago).I jogged my first horse at 16,it was way cool!! I havent looked back since.I`v seen alot of horses come and go.Its a hard business,hard on horses as well as people. This has been a ride that has taken me to Ill,KY,IN,NY,and to Florida,untill I landed in Michigan.We have one horse-a two year old  trotter-Mr. Billy Blue,he is such a nice horse to be around,very willing,he gets along well with the kids(even likes them-lol).He has some ability,but not much size-but that`s ok, he is consistant and wants to do the right thing.......6-24-09 I worked the trotting colt today 2:19 flat last 1/4 .32 It was the second time he`s been in .20 He was ok,and he did it more then willingly.Could be you`ll see us at Charlotte,MI July 10th....May God and luck be with us!!.... 7-11-09..It was a good experience,had the 5 hole,made a break leaving,went right back trotting,finished 3rd,see ya in Hastings[image] 7-23-09 We raced on the 19th-ran like a deer,finished 5th out of 7...made some changes..see ya in Holland on the 30th
