small pacing mares

[Richard prior]

Its a long time ago but the champion racehorse and sire Good Time
A bay son of Hal Dale and the Volomite mare, On Time, stood barely fourteen hands high.

He must have left a tribe of small mares.

Pretty sure that Most Happy Fella and Warm Breeze come from Good Time daughters Noel.

Most Happy Fella and Warm Breeze are certainly there amongst the Classic Crosses for Good Time Rich
There sires (Meadow Skipper and Bret Hanover) produced plenty of Classic Crosses with Good Time mares

Elite angel ( safely Kept) who ran 2nd to the great quinny at GP a couple of years ago was a small mare about 14.2 but tough and courageous. Trainer used to say if he had a gelding that tough, it would have got to M4 at least no problems

Dunno how anyone hasn't mentioned Teeny Reena, wonderful race mare that left a legacy in the breeding "barn" as big as ANY you would like to mention. In my humble opinion the only place size matters in racehorses is in the yearling sale ring, and we all know how the price that is paid there rarely has anything to do with ability.

Hi Dan,
Contrary to her name, Teeny Rena was not actually a small mare. I think she would have been a minimum of 15.2 hands, probably taller.

Thanks Trevor,


the name must have mislead a few people, I'm certain I've read in more than one publication she was a diminutive mare!

dug that up on utube and it sure enough shows she was an average sized type..


Cheers!

Great to see those old horses and drivers in action.
