    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

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.
    [/SIZE]



    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    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.
    in on the joke and i cant stop laughing
