he has been.

they are taking their time on deciding, and have every right to do so. churchill stepped up, ky horse park also would like to inter him there. then there's something possibly in the works closer to home...
i'd like to see him at churchill or ky horse park. that is a beautiful place.

i also think the heart and hooves thing is a bit gruesome, but as i understand it is also a tradition. one can see why when you consider everything involved in burying a horse--space constraints more than anything would keep you from doing that with all of your horses.


to be perfectly honest, i want a viking 'burial' but will have to settle for cremation.
