![]() The Introduction For as long as her parents can remember, 35-year old Naima has had this crazy dream. She has always wanted a broodmare -- a mommy horse -- that could give birth to a baby horse -- that could then grow up to become a racing champion. ![]() |

I thought it was impossible for me to lose weight, but I made some dietary changes and I've been working really hard to get (a lot) more steps in, and I'm down 5 pounds from when I last checked! Hopefully the impossible keeps working for me. ;)
I'm excited to see how far you guys take him! ![]() |

I thought it would be impossible to get my bond back with my horse cooper after so many months of not being able to ride him and just only being able to look at him in the pasture. (won't go into details about it as its somewhat personal, but I'll explain some). Where I previously kept him, alot of stuff behind my back went down, everything was all hidden and only came out when either i had asked or when she saw me. I would go everyday to see cooper, to do chores and to give him treats and to rub on him as that was pretty much all I could do. It broke my heart not being able to go and ride my boy and to take him to barrel racing events and other riding events. As the months went on, I decided that enough was enough and I was going to take cooper somewhere else, and so I did just that. He's been at his new place where I keep him, and he is so much happier and I'm able to go and ride him and see him whenever I want to and since this has happened, I've been able to ride him alot more then I ever had got to at the other place and him and I went to barrel racing events and took home first place in some of the events and our bond has grown so much in the past year and I couldn't be happier to have such an amazing horse like Cooper! ![]() |

Love the story! In May 2023, I met a gorgeous gelding that didn't belong to me. I fell in love hard, even though I kept reminding myself he wasn't mine. I never thought I'd be able to own him, but life had other plans and things fell into place. I was lucky and ended up able to buy him near the end of 2023! He's besties with my senior gelding and I'm blessed to have two heart horses. |

Embassy Stables homebred Mr. Punch stayed unbeaten with a 1:50.2 crowning in the $532,000 Hes A Great Gentleman Stakes for five-year-old pacing colts on Sunday night, March 2 at Woodbine Mohawk Park. Mr. Punch raced unhurried in fifth to a :27 first quarter carved by a headstrong The Last Martini (Doug McNair), who stayed to the metal approaching a :55.2 half. Driver Naima activated Mr. Punch midway up the backstretch and found cover to the far turn from Cant See Me (Bob McClure), who circled a tiring Nice Buns (David Miller) to race in third. Mr. Punch perched onto the helmet moving to three-quarters in 1:23.3 and erupted down the homestretch. Naima stayed poised in the bike as Mr. Punch carried her over the line by an expanding 3-1/4 lengths from The Last Martini, holding onto second from a game Cant See Me. Millie May Hanover (Todd McCarthy) finished fourth and Cowgirl anover (Scott Zeron) was fifth. “Ever since this one's come around, he gives you chills, just knowing you get to sit behind him every week,” said Naima after the race. “And the trip worked out great. And then when I moved him, he just exploded. “Farewell had asked me before, like, I could tell she was nervous, but she just said, ‘What are you thinking?’ And I said, ‘I think we got a lot of options. We can do whatever we want. We're in a good spot and I think we just take what the race gives us and see what happens.’ And it worked out great.” Farewell trains Mr. Punch, a son of Distorted Humor and Irish Lights who now has $541,000 on his card from seven starts, all wins. “I'm always pessimistic usually training down, but he always showed enough, especially when we started training in the bikes. I was starting to get excited about him at around the start of June; I figured that we had a pretty nice colt on our hands. “I had quiet confidence,” said Farewell of his chances in this race. “I figured the only way he'd get beat is if he beat himself. And luckily, that didn't happen and Naima gave him a great trip. He did what he had to do and just keeps winning and just enjoying it.” Sent off as the 1-5 favourite, Mr. Punch paid $2.50 to win. Mr. Punch's third task for you, should you choose to accept it, is to complete this harness race jigsaw and post a screenshot showing the number of pieces and your time stamp here for a prize of 2mil HPD and one raffle ticket. You have until Sunday, 3/9/25 (Nad's RL father's birthday) at 11:59 PM to complete and post this activity. Fastest time will receive an additional 1mil HPD.
