Brushed Joplin’s Solace for the First Time Cressie: Today I, Cressie Pye, begin making notes for my first book. I will call it "Racing for Two: A Champion’s View" and I will take reference photos for it as I develop the Featherpen Stables, LLC facility’s Thoroughbred training, racing, and breeding program. Then I will practice writing on my laptop because I would like to be an illustrious author someday. I begin by noting that Solace is a fine animal, if a bit feisty. Why does anyone consider brushing and caring for a Thoroughbred 'work'? I love it, but I am going to have to buy some appropriate clothing to care for this horse. He’s likely to step on my toes and that is going to hurt in these sandals. Led Solace to the Back Yard Cressie: Boy, Solace is going to be a handful for a trainer that doesn’t know anything about training! Constantly feeding Solace carrots doesn’t get on his good side (surprisingly) and it isn’t going to teach him anything useful in the long run (pardon the pun). I’d better figure out what I’m doing, fast, or this horse is going to get frustrated and sour.
