We hope you continue on within the thoroughbred industry and continue to enjoy the special passions one can only experience with horses, Leo.</p> <img src="http://cs.bloodhorse.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=471261" width="1" height="1">http://cs.bloodhorse.com/blogs/racinghub/archive/2013/10/31/Thoroughbred-Placement-Resources-and-Me.aspx#469702Sun, 03 Nov 2013 14:09:17 GMTb1464f20-99eb-45e5-b651-41da03ecff36:469702Quintal<p>Well done, Leo! &nbsp;The horses are lucky to know you. &nbsp;:)</p> <img src="http://cs.bloodhorse.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=469702" width="1" height="1">http://cs.bloodhorse.com/blogs/racinghub/archive/2013/10/31/Thoroughbred-Placement-Resources-and-Me.aspx#468965Thu, 31 Oct 2013 22:51:54 GMTb1464f20-99eb-45e5-b651-41da03ecff36:468965kincsem<p>Good for you, Leo! Horses are such wonderful creatures and they really can sooth us just by being around them. You obviously have a lot of &quot;gumption&quot; to follow your dreams. Don&#39;t ever stop. And thanks for helping a lot of OTTBs!</p> <img src="http://cs.bloodhorse.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=468965" width="1" height="1">
