Default 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?"
