Thoughtfull Dandy was Bred by Bud Graves in Oklahoma. he was then purchased by Marilyn Camarillo around 1979 after not be successful on the track. Marilyn trained thoughtfull with $50k of dressage training, but then ended up using him as a very successful barrel racer. From the time Marilyn sold Thoughtfull to year 2002 the timeline is very sketchy. Thoughtfull was rescued in 2002 after being sold to golden gate fields to be used as a lead pony. Thoughtfull was able to enjoy a very satisfying retirement from 2004 to 2008. Thoughtfull Dandy passed away November 4, 2008 from complications of old age. His name fit his demeanor. He was a true gentleman. I can only wish to one day have another horse with Thoughfull\'s demeanor and attitude
