You are never prepared to lose. Linedancer (1996-2021). I first heard of Linedancer (LD), in 2013 from Sue Hedgecock. I had sold a horse to sue shortly after her Haggin Cup win in 2013. After selling her a horse, “Apollo” now owned by Karen Chaton. She and I quickly became friends. She needed a rider to keep her heard in shape, and I needed a mentor. We hit it off. I miss her. My first day at “Hedgecock Hill” in 2013 I quickly learned of LD. Sue had just bought a filly out of him from an auction site, sight unseen. She told me stories of a monster 15.3hh race bred stallion, that had a phenomenal race record that was taking the endurance world by storm. She built my interest.

In 2017 my wife Taylor and I decided to start breeding our own horses for endurance. I’m 6’1 and 230lbs at my best and the search for qualified horses to carry me 25, 50 or 100 miles was proving too much. We decided to start rolling the dice in the breeding world in hopes of breeding some incredible horses. After talking to everyone that would lend us an ear we decided to focus our breeding on large race breed French/polish Arabians.

Fast forward to 2019, our very small breeding program was in full swing. We had some foals on the ground and were in search for a stallion that would be a great addition to our program. We reached out to dick reed and wyendee, to inquire about a couple LD breeding’s. We quickly learned that he was available. We were excited and jumped at the opportunity to have a living legend at our place. Little did we know what and impact LD would have on us and our farm.

LD has the best arabian race record in the United States hands down. I have never seen a race record better than his. He is a Burning Sands son, who needs no introduction, and is now represented by Garret Ford and Altitude arabians. He is arguably the best Burning Sands son to have ever raced. According to Equibase, LD raced 30 times, 24 of them were wins with 5 second place finishes. So, in 30 races LD took 1st or 2nd in 29 of them, absolutely incredible. He still holds track records at Arapahoe Park and had multiple stakes wins. In 2011, LD was inducted into the Arabian Jockey Club Hall of Fame. In my eyes he a legend in his own right, but what about the breeding shed?

In the endurance world just in 2021, LD has had two different sons win 100 mile races. Gwen Hall won the 2021 National Championship on a LD son, Sizedoesntmatter. Erin Lemmons also won the Wahatoya Cup 100 aboard her LD son, Tuscarora John in 2021. He’s had multiple race winners on the track…… too many to count. His legacy will live on in endurance and on the track.

It’s no question that LD has marked his place in time with his talent and production alone. I’m confident that in 10, 15, or 20 years that I will not remember his stats on the track or the accomplishments of his get. Im scared. Will I remember what made him matter the most? Will I remember his kind heart? Will I remember his calm look of understanding? Will I remember his patience with his goat companion? Will I remember his trust and his love? Will I remember the feeling I had in his presence, the feeling of calm comfort that only comes from age and wisdom? Will I remember the feeling he gave me, like a warm smile, a firm embrace, or a soft yet confident muzzle over the shoulder? Will I remember the reassurance that he gave that all is well in the world?

After feeding tonight, with the Arizona sunset at my back, I was walking back to the house. I was a lost in a trans contemplating the rough and emotional day I had. The neighbor’s dog barked and I looked up to see a LD weanling prancing around the pen as if she was floating on air. When I looked, she stopped in her tracks and looked, and just for a second, for a breath in time, I saw his look. I saw his look of acknowledgement, gratitude, and understanding. It made me feel as warm inside as that Arizona sunset. I knew at that moment that I would never forget him. Rest in Peace LD you are loved, you are missed.

Linedancers race record is very impressive. In 30 races he won 24 races, and took 2nd in 5 of the remaining 6 races. So he won or placed in 29 out of 30 races. Highest speed figure of 130 which he hit twice. And still holds the track record and Arapahoe park going 10 furlongs. What a special guy. Any other Arabian stallions out there that can beat those numbers?
