On Tuesday, I had my first meeting with Beach since dropping him him off at Hanover Shoe Farms in December.

Beach has filled out quite a bit, he's grown and he looks great. He couldn't be in a better place. He's outside 24/7, has a great paddock with a lean-to that's about 20x20 for shelter.

Did he recognize me? He sure did. We had fun playing as you can see...but after the cameras were rolling I came back later on when it was a bit darker with a bag of carrots. I called to him in the field and when he heard my voice he whinnied and trotted right up to me.

It was great seeing him again and I look forward to seeing his babies on the ground.

I'm so grateful that I saw Some Beach's first win and subsequent Battle of Waterloo victory at Grand River Raceway in Elora. Now I'm looking forward to seeing one of his colts or fillies in a race some day!

What a sight ,that would bring a tear to a glass eye. He looks great. I am not that happy about the field he is in ,ground looks uneven and hard. I don't think i would put my old $200.00 horse in it, let alone THE BEACH.

Stirs emotions and I'm just fan ...... I'm sure Brent was as full as an egg! Great to see updates. Beach has gained a few pounds. He looks great! Art who?

Great to see the Beach again. He and Brent obviously have a wonderful relationship and that is so nice to see between owners' and horses. Hanover Shoe Farms is the best possible place for a horse to be. I hope that SBSW is as successful as a stud as he was on the track! He's got some great mares to work with and that's the way it should be.

So nice to see the video of the Beach.
Looks goods & looks like he's certainly enjoying retirement.
Hopefully, over the years we'll see more updates on the Beach
