Why "running blood"

I get asked this alot.  I breed, raise and love Thoroughbreds for sport horses.  I ride them in dressage, jumping, sidesaddle, judged pleasure rides and most anything else you can think of.

Michael Martin Murphy wrote a song that I love, called "The Running Blood"  You can hear it here as an mp3 file.  It embodies everything I love about Thoroughbreds.  As he puts it in the song, "Trying hard is not enough, you've got to have the running blood."   This is a reference to their ancestry and bloodlines.   My herd proudly carried the lines of some old school "stayer" blood like Herberger, Round Table and Bold Ruler.

“Donec leo, vivamus nibh in augue praesent a lacus at urna congue rutrum. Quisque dictum integer nisl risus, sagittis convallis, rutrum id, congue, and nibh.”
