something other than the Belmont disaster

I missed this when it happened, but this was the coolest horse I have ever seen. Theodore O'Connor, the amazing event pony who was short-listed for the summer olympics in China, died after a freak accident in the barn.

Oh man, that sucks. He had just been commemorated with his own Breyer model.

He died the same morning as Nashoba's Key. :( Freak stall accidents all around. Goes to show just how horses are such fragile creatures.

R.I.P... And I emphasize that it's sincere that I say that. Because I just can't resist saying this too-

"What's next? Is PETA gonna call for the banning of horse stalls now?"
