I found this site when looking for the "Ruffian"story. It is cool, and a great tribute to the horses of all areas interest. Even has "Mr. Ed" and "Trigger" stories in there.

ETG did you find the Ruffian story?? That is such a good read. What an amazing horse. The article I read in Equs many yrs ago said that she tried to finish the race. It's a tragedy what we ask of animals when they are so young.

Thgere's some good stories in those Quarter Horse legends books. My favorite bucking horse of all time that I've seen out in person was 'AirWolf'-he was a true bronc and he bucked hard for a long long time. Kingsway was a great horse but a bit more honest than AirWolf. Cool Alley and Grated Coconut are pretty tough to beat of the horses getting hauled now.
