I just wrote this:
Eight Belles in the wind
Beautiful melody that will never end
Running free now without pain
May your death not have been in vain
You ran for the roses with heart and soul
True to your lineage from long ago
With heavy hearts, our tears fall
You shouldn't have died at all
The rainbow bridge is now your home
With never ending pastures to roam
Eight Belles in the wind
Beautiful melody that will never end
That was beautiful Val! :(
Very beautiful poem, Val. I have LES now.:(
dukedogsmom - that was beautiful :]
It was a horrible tragedy, but I don't want them to stop horse racing because of a few accidents. It would be nice if they would stop racing them at two years old, though.
Racing is dangerous, but so are other equestrian sports. Recently, Frodo Baggins and his rider Laine Ashker were hurt when Frodo didn't clear one of the fences. He was euthanized (I do believe) and Laine suffered many injuries. We have a horse at our barn who is off of work for 3 months because he got hurt jumping a crossrail. Things happen, I guess.
