A Final Farewell

Rileyoriley · #1 12-08-2011, 07:36 PM

I went up to Saratoga 1999-2001 to watch Beautiful Pleasure run in the Personal Ensign. In 2001, a friend arranged for my daughter and I to go back to the Ward's barn to meet BP. What a personality she had. I still cherish the pictures from that day.

(oh yeah. We got to meet Monarchos too)

Really nice gesture MMSC...appreciate the time you put into this. It's sad to see so many horses I recognize on there, at the same time every one of them is recognized by someone somewhere and even more so each and every one has been a big part of a lot of different people's lives.

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."

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.

Duvalier hit the nail on the head - "every one has been a big part of a lot of different people's lives"

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