Stop Press!!!

1791?? l was impressed because our little Max was traceable back to 1791?? l humbly withdraw that comment on further delving into his prestigious past! Following one certain line took me back to Old Bald Peg  (truly....!!) who was born between 1647 and 1655.

What is even more impressive is that the little terror has the Darely Arabian in his bloodline! The Darely Arabian, the Byerly Turk and the Godolphin Barb were THE three foundation sires  of the British Thoroughbred. No wonder the little critter runs so fast!!  Fascinating stuff!

l wonder if we could trace our cows back that far?
l think Auntie Jack might fancy herself in a diamond encrusted tiara!
