Welcome to the
official web site of Sweet Spirits Stables, LLC.
We
have experienced no greater thrill in sports than watching our thoroughbreds taking command of the field at the top of the
stretch and hitting the wire first. The feeling is palpable. Get into the game!
In the spirit of the thoroughbred, we have
expanded upon words from the poem in the movie Dreamer. Feel free to be a critic and/or send us a note with
your lines.
You Are A Great Champion
You were born to be a great champion.
When you were born, a breeze from heaven passed between your ears.
When
you were born, the past and hope were joined. When you were born, we rejoiced.
When you grew, you played. When you played, you ran unfettered.
When you ran we heard percussion.
You are a great champion. When we saddled you, you were on
your toes. When we saddled you, you grew bigger. When we saddled you the crowds looked on.
You are a great champion. When
you ran, the ground shook, and time stopped. When you ran the angels noticed and the sky opened. When you ran you blazed a
trail of desire. When you ran, we ran. When you ran we lived
through you.
When you ran your rivals gave way. When you ran mere mortals parted. Parted the way to victory, parted the way to the winner’s circle where
we met you and felt your breath in our face; where we put a blanket of flowers across your withers.
You will retire as our great
champion.
And our promise is: when you age we will take care of you. In the spring
we will meet you in green pastures, and in the winter we will put a blanket on you and be forever grateful.
