Thanks for the insight. Eloquent interviewee

Indeed, it was a good interview

Most times, they would identify a horse by the groom leading it. Other times, it's by the markings, for example: a streak or striped face or even 3 white legs/bobbysox, etc. The death of Hopeton "Hopie" Clarke and more recently Donovan "the clockman" Cunningham have left a huge void in the "identifying procedure" of horses, especially the unraced ones, I'm quite sure. Big up yourself, Tony Chadman, you're a true journeyman in your own right!!!!

These guys have a hard job

[@pelorusjack5461]

@THE QUICK GALLOPER Even harder now with the aforementioned two that are deceased. They're missed dearly bro!!! Horses that would return from lengthy respites weren't even a problem for them and both of them used to visit the equine pool regularly for that main purpose.
