Apropos crossing - when people in the know see Kai, they almost always
remark that he must have some arab blood in him. According to them,
some Fjords - don`t ask me where or when - were crossed with fullbloods in
order to make them more

A mile is a greater distance than a kilometer. 1 Mile equals roughly 2
Kilometers.
If the pacer trots the mile in 1.41, then he/she trots approximately 2 KM at
that speed as well -
the Standardbred needs about 1.48. At least that is how I

Yes ! That is it, Peg. It is terribly worrisome when an animal is ailing.

was it.

Ursula is right about the checks and balances.
