That makes it a cool story, but it would take a bit more than that to bring tears to my eyes.....like a swift kick to the groin.

As someone who thought she was going to lose her horse for the past month, it made me feel good to see this horse do well. Call me a sentimental female, I don't care. I can give ya that kick in the groin if ya want...

And what I meant by a hero was that he(EA) wanted the world to take notice of him. A horse who in this sport is still competing at his age and being competitive at that.

I say give credit where due.

If it weren't for Barcola's generosity (not to mention his cyber-trashing of my otherwise winning, Barcola-singled p-4 ticket), none of this would be happening.

lol...Fair enough.
As someone that hangs a Sunday Silence ornament on the Christmas tree each year, perhaps I have little room to criticize other peoples' sentimentality regarding horses.
