I feel sorry whenever one goes down and Super Frolic breaking both sesamoids makes no one happy. Treating a horse as the individual it is, can lead to sadness, as breakdowns will always occur. Using terms such as nag, glue, etc. irritate me, but I take great satisfaction that I often "tax" those people at the window. Super Frolic was not a great horse, but he was an individual, and he will be missed. Condolences to his connections. BBB
