Thar She Blows

By James Ragsdale

This manuscript originated from a lifetime of love of the horses, especially racehorses. It utilizes the biblical history and is supported by scriptures of the Holy Bible. Each chapter (I have them as races in lieu of chapters) contains four Holy Bible scriptures that pertain to horses. Race 1 gives a background of the history of horse from the time of Noah and his ark to the present time. Each race thereafter gives the history and story of the many racehorses that were owned by the author and trials and expense of each one. The manuscript includes the authors wisdom of thoroughbred racehorses and the gamble of investing in the racehorse business.
The conclusion of the manuscript tells the story of this ninety-one-year old horse owner and his companion and what lead to the decision that he must terminate his racing investments.
