#HORSERACING: PRINCESS X PRINCE DIARIES – APRIL 2019

Happy Easter from our little Prince William and Princess! 🐇

It’s been a bit since we’ve checked in with you about our two stars.  MR. WILL or William as we like to call him around the barn, is progressing great for his Owner and Trainer Michelle Love, going for regular jogs around the Training Track at Woodbine with his sis, a sweet two-year-old filly by hot sire Souper Speedy, who is unnamed but known right now as Anastasia (yes, as in Fifty Shades of Grey).

Michelle tells us, “He’s doing great! They ran down the lane for an 1/8th (one furlong) for the first time yesterday”. It is exciting seeing the little guy put together the building blocks to becoming a racehorse. The two also went for their first walk today with the weather a bit nicer out finally, getting acclimated with the track and surroundings, which will be crucial later as part of their pre-race when they transition to the Main Track at Woodbine later.

He definitely is a good student and something about his introvertedness tells us he means business.  That aside, he is a bit of a cuddlebug and it made me so happy to see him warm-up to a Bunny plushie we brought one (one for his sis too, of course!).  His caretaker Jayne who adores him so much, nicknamed him “Sucky Face” for his adorable pout.  Michelle and I are actually shocked he hasn’t ripped it apart yet, so maybe he does have a gentle side!

Princess (A PIC BY MRWILL) continues to recover at her temporary home out in Caledon and we’re totally with her in her restlessness for some good weather. For the first time ever, I heard her let out a nicker, signalling her eagerness for time outside her stall. Emily Fisher continues to do an amazing job caring for her and it shouldn’t be long before she gets that vet clearance to be able to go outside again and just be a horse! She’s definitely earned it and we can’t to see her run free outside.

We recently stopped by for a visit and Princess got to spend time with both her moms Cathy and Emily. We could see how happy she was for a bit of us time, snacking on all her favourites after finishing up her dinner.

We’re a bit early but wishing you all an amazing long weekend ahead! May you find many treasures on your hunt.

We look forward to seeing you at the races at Woodbine, with opening weekend being next weekend!
