A Final Farewell

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.

Random horses for random connections is a bit to obtuse for me. I wonder if people really think their kindness comes to the aid of someone who had a horse die.

The real question to be answered is how much therapy does Pletcher need with all the horses he kills in a year, its amazing he is able to carry on each day. He must have a great shrink!
