Motivational makeover

I had to write and thank Christine Davis for sharing her story in “Murphy’s Makeover” (True Tales, EQUUS 493). I could relate to how she loves the athleticism and work ethic of Thoroughbreds. They are the breed that has captured my heart as well. Her story is very inspiring and encouraging for anyone who wants to get an off-thetrack Thoroughbred and train him to be something other than a racehorse.

From what I’ve heard, the Thoroughbred Makeover is a place where people are encouraging and supportive of each other, much more so than your “average” horse show where often the main goal is to win. I hope to go next year as a spectator, although I am looking to buy another off-the-track Thoroughbred. So who knows, I may end up being a participant! Carmel Dunlap Lanse, Pennsylvania
