Too bad they don't have a blood test for CEM that would detect it in stallions. Test breeding like this seems so archaic.

I've always felt that OF should consider gelding some of the studs, but in this case they didn't seem to have much choice.
I ran marathons. I saw the Taj Mahal by Moonlight. I drove Highway 1 in a convertible. I petted Zenyatta.

That second photo is a bit unsettling. If War Emblem were a bear or lion, you would be backing up fast from what looks like a predator wanting to take a chunk out of you. 
And I'm not positive that's not what's going on there.

i'm glad he and michael are bonding. i know he 's a loner type of horse but it makes me feel good that he has someone he looks forward to seeing (not sure how else to word that).
