2 yrs ago this filly got off to a rough start. Peden and girls never gave up on her. Named "Maw's Glory" after my mom& her dam Urban Glory. Today Maw made first start MSW& was a respectable 3rd. The Thbd industry is good for families, good for horses and good for the soul. pic.twitter.com/yPEVXH01tR

I always say it but that first drink is possibly the best sound for a multiple of reasons. We have permanent boarding mares at Hillwood so we are with these girls from the very beginning sometimes 2 years to see this magic moment. I never take it for granted #Wortheveryminute pic.twitter.com/K1PeUjHrWf
