A Final Farewell
For anyone who would like to remember those we lost this year...
I have tried to include everyone and apologize in advance for those I've mistakenly left out (or if I've misspelled any names). I have only listed horses here and not people and their order is somewhat the order of their passing (which I prefer to an alphabetized listing). Please feel free to add in anyone I've left out, reflect, post a memory about a favorite or a great score... whatever you like. * * * * * When he shall die, Take him and cut him out in little stars, And he will make the face of heaven so fine That all the world will be in love with night, And pay no worship to the garish sun. ~ William Shakespeare Caixa Eletronica Six Drivers Uncle Smokey Shand Side Steeet Patton Sunshine Forever Blonde For Ever Laughing Dancin' Renee Longevity Wando There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief... and unspeakable love. ~ Washington Irving Afleet O'Darci Marsella Delight Mr. Tix St. Nick Stormy Surge Devil's Afleet El Vino Tiger Ridge Dixie Sparkle Blue Jay Attack Battle Silk Casey Lynn Nero Emperor Time Keeper St. Nicholas Abbey He spake well who said that graves are the footprints of angels. ~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow General Challenge Maath Gool Cougarontheprowl Minotaur Flashy in Pink Silver Cloud Shertzer Stormy Surge Santas Keeper Kiss a Rose Go Canes Go Chriselliam Diamond Biko Recall Dynaformer Adeupas D Ycy Investment Export Hanoverian Baron Tharaya Equitania Kelly's Eye Domasca Dan Mystery Taste Budding Affair Miss Go Free Soul Searcher Charlie Company A Rosie Rebel Maakirr Kelly's Eye Tizardo Code of Conduct The Usual Q.T.

MMSC, I don't know how you do that, but I love that you do it! And your idea of listing them in some order of their passing instead of alphabetically is a real grabber. It puts a horse like Cigar in context with all the other horses who have passed.....he's no more important, in the end, than any of them.
Well Done! And Juan Saez.....what an unspeakable tragedy! |

I was asked to go and look at TC, at their 2014 thread and am sorry to add two names a lot of us were quite familiar with and big fans of...
Ea Bluesthestandard I will not be going back through their thread and trying to verify anyone who has been left out of this one and certainly do not mean to make it like since these were such big names they are somehow more important. I just thought it was right to add them but cannot now spend weeks reading pages upon pages as this is quite depressing enough to put together every year. It is simply a choice, adding two names. If anyone would like to add the others fromt heir well-kept-up threads by all means please do so. On EA... http://www.horseracingnation.com/horse/Ea# * * * We were informed several weeks ago that Bluesthestandard had died in a home that also took care of Falcon Scott and Bonfante. Both Bonfante and Falcon were re-located to Old Friends in excellent condition. I'm not going to get into all the personal details that led to the separation between husband and wife. According to our agreement, they were to inform Old Friends within 24 hours if there was a problem with a horse, including death. They did not comply. We always have necropsies performed to determine the cause of death. Immediately upon hearing of his death, I called Kristen and explained what happened. It is very sad when any of our retirees pass on..I hope this helps you understand our protocols. It was one human's failure to follow these protocols that led to the misinformation. We never received his ashes. We are burying his halter. |
