A Final Farewell

[Riot]

Thanks for doing this. Every one is special.

"And Allah took a handful of southerly wind,
blew His breath over it, and created the horse.
He said to the magnificent creature,
"I have made thee as no other.
All the treasures of the earth lie between thy eyes.
Thou shall carry my friends upon thy back.
Thy saddle shall be the seat of prayers to me.
Thou shall fly without wings,
and conquer without any sword. Oh, horse."
~ Bedouin Legend ~

Thank you for reminding me they are horses, 1200 pounds of beast.. What's next the sea scallop thread or maybe the berkshire pig thread or perhaps the ground hog thread.. Dios MIO

Please, let's leave this one thread alone and not disrespect it.

yeah, good luck with that. cynicism is a mantra for some.

Does the thread get its feelings hurt if it's disrespected? Come on. I never really understood that. It's like when people accuse others of "hating" on a horse online, as if that horse is logging into Derbytrail and reading that someone thinks he stinks.

No one and I mean no one wants to see any of these horses (or people) hurt or pass away. But it's a very unfortunate part of our game. Ganging up on Freddy for an obvious joke doesn't diminish what MMSC was trying to do with the thread. If anything it gave it a few more hits and makes it not so serious. Freddy jokes around a lot, but he obviously cares about horses. Some just think a little mix of humor helps. Especially in a thread as maudlin as this.

Thank you so much for helping us keep mindful that these precious souls have done so much for us and have done all they could do to make us proud. May we remember that this sport exists because they made it possible. Also a special thank you for the Eskimo (Aboriginal) Legend. I had not heard of that before and am truly blessed with it.

I have been inspired. Give me a day or so Freddy and I will get a list of all of their names.
