Touching, beautiful, amazing.

Thank you for posting this. I'm so glad you did...

Incredible stuff. A bit disquieting, perhaps only because it's so uncommon. But also touching and moving. If any horse deserved a funeral, he was the one.

Amazing stuff. Thanks for sharing.

A glimps as to why this sport was referred to as the sport of kings. I wish people today realized how significant and popular horse racing was back in the day. I think most people would be suprised.

Anyway thanks again for the goose bumps.

The radio broadcast and video are really cool too.

Embalming a horse for an open casket funeral is a bit creepy if you ask me.

You can only hope Zenyatta gets the same treat upon her demise. Wait a second, is she mortal, time will tell?

I knew it was just a matter of time until Zenyatta was brought up in this thread.
