^^^^ Yeah pretty much. Do I need to say more?! WE WON! WE WON IT ALL!!! Brianna and I would like to give a HUGE congratulatory shout out to our outstanding basketball teams, both the men and women, for making it to the Championships, and to the men's team on their win in an outstanding and nail-biting National Championship!!! I have to say it makes me proud to be a Cardinal after watching time and time again as this men's team came together to support one another and only used what seemed like bad scenarios to up their game. After Kevin Ware's horrifying injury, the team worked together as a family to win the game and continue on, and boy-- I cannot say ENOUGH about the amazing "Win for Ware" and "Ri5e to the Occasion" shirts. Talk about epic support!! Way to go guys!! You too ladies!! You did us proud and not a single exclamatory couch was burned (sorry that joke is lost on those of you not from these parts)! Yep it's a good time to be a part of this outstanding school!! So my baby Crunch Time turned 24 on the fifth and I couldn't be more excited!!!!! So yeah I'm a little excited. For a horse like Crunchy, 24 is a very, very big deal because Crunch Man was not always living such a happy cushy life. Crunchy worked as an Amish cart horse until the time he turned 18 (the typical retirement age for Amish horses) when he was put up for auction and at risk of being picked up by a slaughterhouse bidder-- Not good!!! Luckily though, the amazing folks at Saddlebred Rescue (SBR) were able to pick him up at auction and prepare him to find a new forever home, which would later turn out to be none-other than my home barn, the historical Rock Creek Riding Club. After about six years of living with Rock Creek, and twenty of always dreaming of owning a horse, the opportunity came around for me to become Crunchy's owner. I instantly snatched it up! While Crunch Time will never show and isn't the snazziest horse on scene, he's always been my favorite for his amazing character and personality. Just look at him now! If you're a devout Saddlebred person like me, or even an enthusiast of Horse Rescue, (who isn't?!) you should definitely take the time to consider checking out or donating to the SBR. A small and privately run organization, I can't say enough for how much these dedicated people do for the horses they rescue and the forever homes they place them in.
The following links take you to the SBR's various online locations where I really hope you'll check out their amazing horses up for adoption or possibly donate or buy some sweet SBR swag! (they sell Calenders... Did I mention Crunchy and I are January 2014?!) Main Website Originally the 2011 Kentucky Derby Winner Animal Kingdom was set to stand stud in Australia at the end of his 2013 racing campaign. The majority rights were purchases by Arrowfield Stud owned by John Messara. Though plans included a return to the U.S. in the 2014 breeding season. After Animal Kingdom's winning performance in the Dubai World Cup, Sheikh Mohammed purchased a small interest in the Derby Winner. Therefore, the champ will stand at Jonabell Farm in Kentucky when in the U.S. This boy's bound to be an international stud thanks to his excellent performances on a variety of surfaces!
