Hey! Happy Father’s Day!

In honor of this observance, here are links to portraits and biographies of the three “foundation” stallions from whom the Thoroughbred breed sprang: the Byerley Turk, the Godolphin Arabian and the Darley Arabian. Sirs, thank you for your good work! Thank you for allowing us to completely bypass wagering on the American Quarter Horse! Some 300 years later, we continue to appreciate it!
