Post 346 was meant for you
I had realized that, thank you. I did not say that I was physically sickened or would not be eating dinner tonight. But I do not understand the sentiment that this was "just" a horse. These are intelligent, sensitive creatures, among the most beautiful that God has put on this planet. Even the most common of them has a gleam of nobility to him. We love them. All of them, even the ones we don't own or ride. And they are never "just a horse" to us.
