Wegottagetalong

Wegottagetalong used too be Reggies name. crazy huh?!
Amongst all our sitting around and lounging we did today Tyson decided to research more into Reggies background. The horse vet came yesterday to check out both horses because we have to have paperwork with them when they cross the border. (Tyson is planning on bringing them to Utah over the 24th of July festivities.) Anyway, the vet had told Tyson that Reggie looks like a full thoroughbred and not a mix with quarter horse which is what the lady said he was when we bought him. He also told Tyson that if any horse has ever raced they would have a number tattooed inside their top gum line lip. The vet checked quickly but didn't see one. Which means at that point to our understanding Reggie had never raced. But when Tyson told me that today and then looked under him lip again really close he found a number - I23117. I then told Tyson he should Google that number for fun and see what information we could find on him. Turns out we found a lot!
We found Reggies birth information and a whole pedigree chart. As well as videos of Reggies races here in Arizona at Turf Paradise! We watched his 4 winning races out of the 37 he ran. We also found out that his owner had died which was about the same time he stopped racing and was put up for adoption at Turf Paradise. From then on we couldn't find anymore information.
It was kind of exciting to find out the history of Reggie. Tyson said that him being a full thoroughbred explains a lot. like Reggie don't stop really good and fast (race horses just don't stop), he is sensitive on his right hind (that is where they whipped him to run faster) and that explains why Tyson says that Reggie just likes to run fast.
