| Banks or “World Bank” joined our family in May of 2005 after an illustrious racing career in Illinois and Indiana. He has LTE of $107,000.00 and his pedigree goes back to the legendary race horses – Secretariat, War Admiral, Native Dancer and Man-O-War. We purchased Banks for $1.00, the bill of sale is on the back of a racing form! He is my special black beauty and he likes people to think that he has a bad attitude but he is a big puppy dog. I am learning to ride English on Banks for the first time in my life and he is so patient with me. He really takes care of me while we are riding and he is such a beautiful mover – it is a sheer joy to ride him. |
| Banks favorite past time - eating! |
| You are a great champion When you ran the ground shook The sky opened and mere mortals parted Parted the way to victory Where you'll meet me |
When we watched the
movie Dreamer and they
recited this poem, I
thought of Banks. When
I took this picture he had
this far off look and he
was just standing there
looking off into the
distance. When I finally
saw this picture that I
took, I knew that the
poem from Dreamer was
just the right addition to
the photo!

Banks is 17.2 hands tall - you can
only see Kit's legs between his -
he is such a dream to ride. They
can't believe how mellow he has
become - on the track he had a
reputation for being hard to handle
and a very hard galloper that
would take the bit and run!
