Sharing with you my fascinating discoveries about Thoroughbred racing, sales, fashion, food, beverage, tips and more.
This year, when things have been rough for most, it brings me joy to think of concluding the season on a high note. The holidays are a time for hope, love, joy and peace. Giving Tuesday falls on the first day of December this year. Join this global generosity movement and if you can, give of your time or your money. There are so many charities that could use a hand. Check out some of these links to choose where you may like to share.

Merry Christmas to racing fans everywhere! I hope that all of you have something special to celebrate this time of year. I am very blessed myself (I’ve petted California Chrome on two occasions) and I’m enjoying all of the usual holiday customs. With this post, I wish to continue my personal tradition of sharing my favorite charities for both horses, barn cats and jockeys.
When you are exchanging gifts or planning for the end of this tax season, don’t forget that giving is better than receiving. Last year, in my post, “A Season For Giving” I included some background info on the Permanently Disabled Jockeys Fund, Old Friends, One Last Race and Thoroughbred Charities of America. Here is the full post below and after that, the links to donate. I still highly recommend all 4 of these charities:
If you want to add a few more to the list, here are some I’m donating to:
I hope you have all you need and plenty to share this season. Keep those in need close to your hearts and share what you have. Be grateful of your blessings and “Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth.” It literally means that if you are given a horse don’t check it’s teeth first to see if it is an old horse. This is an odd but applicable saying that originated from John Heywood in 1546 to remind us to appreciate rather than question the gifts we are given. I’ll be posting before the year ends. Merry Christmas to you and yours!Share This:
