I turned 31 on January 17, but haven't been on as much in the last 2 weeks as I normally am. I have been trying to figure out a way to celebrate my birthday here on the game, and have cooked one up.
For 31 lucky players, yes 31 players, I will send you 2 proven show horses and 10,000 hbs!
*If your account is 2 months old, or younger, you get 3 proven show horses since hbs can not be sent to these young accounts.
I will give hints and clues to you all, you provide an answer, and the first correct answer to the clues gets the Prize. All clues and hints will somehow be horsey related since this is a horse genetics game. :)

Clue #1 is from a movie.
A teenage girl is in an accident while riding horses with her friend. She has a leg amputated, and her horse suffers traumatic injuries and survives. The girl's mother finds a specialist to help get her daughter back on the horse she so loves.
Name the Movie and the horse.

Crystal93 · Jan 25, 2018 11:32 PM

The Horse whisperer and pilgrim is the horse

Prickle · Jan 25, 2018 11:32 PM

The Horse Whisperer, Pilgrim
I was just too slow

The Horse Whisperer And Pilgrim

Flying Stunner · Jan 26, 2018 12:46 AM

Well clue 1 did not take long, ha ha! Congrats to Crystal93! I will send your prizes shortly.

Clue #2 is another movie.
Script line is "King Kong don't have hands that big."
Tell me the gift Burt Reynolds' character is given with horses in the back ground, and the first thing he says.

I will give a extra hint if no one suggests an answer by 2 pm (game time).

Flying Stunner · Jan 26, 2018 11:00 AM

Clue #2 part B
The movie is Smokey and the Bandit II.

Haltanny · Jan 26, 2018 12:27 PM

Is it when he gets the car "son of trigger" and says "you shouldn't have done that"?

Flying Stunner · Jan 26, 2018 1:25 PM

You are correct Haltanny!

Clue #3 is from horse racing.
One of only 39 fillies to run this race (by that time), she took second place, and never left the track.
Name the filly, the race, and the year.

KenworthFarms · Jan 26, 2018 1:42 PM

Im guessing...
Eight Belles, Kentucky Derby, 2008

Flying Stunner · Jan 26, 2018 2:51 PM

Correct Kenworth.

Clue #4 is a 1910-1930's thoroughbred race horse's pedigree.
One of his great Grand Dames is Cinderella sired by Tomahawk. He won the Belmont, and his owner was a "Riddle".

KenworthFarms · Jan 26, 2018 3:08 PM

Awesome, Thanks! :)

best friend · Jan 26, 2018 3:40 PM

Seabiscuit

Flying Stunner · Jan 26, 2018 3:54 PM

Nope.

sassycass · Jan 26, 2018 5:54 PM

War admiral

miniluv · Jan 26, 2018 6:08 PM

man o war

Flying Stunner · Jan 26, 2018 6:19 PM

Miniluv is spot on with her guess!

Clue #5 is from horse medicine.
This "drug" was created in the 1960's for human health, and has since been approved for use on horses. After this drug was legalized for horse use, there has only been one Triple Crown winner.
Give both names for this drug/medication.

miniluv · Jan 26, 2018 6:34 PM

Yay!d Thank you. I though it would never let me put my guess. Third time was the charm. I was the kid in the class getting looked over going oooo me me pick me.

RKO · Jan 26, 2018 6:37 PM

Is it Lasix/diuretic used in througherbred racing and other horse sports. Furosemide is the name I believe.

jezmynespice1 · Jan 26, 2018 6:59 PM

Phenylbutazone aka Bute!

Flying Stunner · Jan 26, 2018 8:19 PM

RKO has the answer that I was going for.

Clue #5 is from race horse history.
In 1965, he was inducted into the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame. In The Blood-Horse ranking of the top 100 thoroughbred champions of the 20th Century, he was ranked #61.
Who is this horse, and who was his trainer?

RKO · Jan 26, 2018 8:38 PM

That was the first one that can to mind Bute was the next one lol

Flying Stunner · Jan 26, 2018 8:52 PM

Bute was created in 1949 to help humans with RA and gout. I did specify "drug was created in the 1960's". ;)

CWScowgirl87 · Jan 26, 2018 9:27 PM

Omaha, trained by James Fitzsimmons :)

DevilsParadise · Jan 26, 2018 9:28 PM

Omaha- James E. Fitzsimmons

Flying Stunner · Jan 26, 2018 11:06 PM

Ooh! That was a close one, CWS gets it by a nose!

Clue #6 is related history of tack.
This woman influenced the creation of this tack item which has lost popularity; yet the style/item has retained a special niche in our modern world. She had 5 siblings, and 5 half siblings.
Who is this woman and her "creation"?

horsey2 · Jan 27, 2018 2:11 AM

The Side saddle created by Anne Of Bohemia.

Flying Stunner · Jan 27, 2018 11:11 AM

That is right horsey2, well done!

Clue #7 is horse anatomy.
These are essential for leg motion, and they are cushions.
What two parts of leg "structure" do I mean?

Painted Dreams · Jan 27, 2018 11:34 AM

The frog and joints?

ConvivialityFarm · Jan 27, 2018 11:37 AM

The coffin bone and short pastern?

Flying Stunner · Jan 27, 2018 2:14 PM

Nope.
@PaintedDreams, I am looking for 2 very specific names of leg structure, not a joint.
Both of you have put forth good answers, they're just not what I am after.

MoonAcre Stables · Jan 27, 2018 4:46 PM

stifle and knee? lol Im just guessing

DevilsParadise · Jan 27, 2018 5:37 PM

Cartilage?

ZefSoFresStables · Jan 27, 2018 6:36 PM

Tendons and ligaments?

ConvivialityFarm · Jan 27, 2018 6:41 PM

Can we have second guesses? (if no one guesses correctly)

Flying Stunner · Jan 27, 2018 7:30 PM

@Coviviality, yes a second guess is allowed.

Another hint for clue #7, they are not tendons.

DivineDreams · Jan 27, 2018 7:45 PM

Cannon Bone?

ZefSoFresStables · Jan 27, 2018 8:19 PM

Navicular bone and plantar (aka digital) cushion?

sassycass · Jan 27, 2018 9:30 PM

Frog and sole

Flying Stunner · Jan 27, 2018 10:58 PM

@Zef, you are half correct in your guess. I imagine that the second one I am looking for is probably not considered a cushion by most. I am looking for navicular bone and proximal sesamoid bone.

Clue #8 is another tack item.
This piece is used on most Equids to keep tack/gear from sliding. Normally made of leather; it is made it two fashions. It was heavily used by the US Army, but has lost its use. It is mentioned several times in the book "Don Quixote".
What is this item and the two types/fashions it is made in?

Skylight · Jan 28, 2018 5:25 AM

Breast plate for English and breast collar for western?

ZefSoFresStables · Jan 28, 2018 6:43 AM

Thank you! That was a toughie :)

Haltanny · Jan 28, 2018 6:59 AM

Oh, I know this one! But I already won once, so I'll keep quiet. But I just made one in 1/24th scale as part of some US Army Cavalry accessories.

Painted Dreams · Jan 28, 2018 9:45 AM

Martingale? Standing martingale and running martingale are the two types.

ConvivialityFarm · Jan 28, 2018 10:32 AM

English breastplate & western harness?

Flying Stunner · Jan 28, 2018 10:34 AM

Breast plates, collars, and martingales are not what I am searching for.
@Haltanny, I still have plenty of trivia left, so answer if you to. :)

Spectrum · Jan 28, 2018 2:22 PM

Is it a crupper? There's stand-alone cruppers that can attach to saddles, and ones that can attach to breeching or a harness. I've never read Don Quixote so I have no idea what his horse wore!

Flying Stunner · Jan 28, 2018 4:06 PM

Bravo Spectrum!

Clue #9 is horse breeds.
This horse is a cross breed that was started in the 1880's, and with the purpose of being a carriage horse. Powerful yet sleek muscles, large sloping shoulders with a wide, deep chest. They are typically 14.2 to 15.2 hands high.
What is this intelligent and curious horse?

horsey2 · Jan 28, 2018 4:12 PM

Pony Of The Americas.

ConvivialityFarm · Jan 28, 2018 4:19 PM

Cob?
