Finish Line, Inc. in Something Directory

 

The Finish Line tradition for manufacturing quality equine healthcare products began in 1979, but their history with horses dates back to the early 1900s. That is when our founders Great-grandfather rode with Teddy Roosevelt and the rough-riders in the Oklahoma territory. Using botanicals, herbs and natural remedies for equine health, John Edward passed the tradition onto four generations. His son Oscar depended on his training skills to feed his family during the depression. His grandson John or JC began as a jockey at fairs and had two memorable contracts: Bootsy Hernandez in 1935 and Harry Trotseck in 1936. JC began training in 1942, and had as many as 24 horses at one given time. JCs training suggestion: Horses are like children. Trainers need to be content with what they get, mold them and treat them equally. He admitted that Playgoer, Easy Lad, Rust em, Wink-at-me, Oakdale, Prime Minister, and Jack Duretts Cold King did stand out from the others. His career in training horses lasted 48 years.
