Poor little horsie. He's in horse heaven now, being petted and fed carrots and groomed by saints.

As long as we're euthanizing horses, can we take out John "The U.S. is a parriah nation" Kerry too?

I was getting sick on John Travolta, anyway. Maybe he'll be reincarnated as a Zorlon or whatever...

It seems like this time last month he had beaten the odds. There just to powerful a creature to survive this type of injury.

Its a very hard decision to make but sometimes it is the most humane think to do.

Collect the insurance money and buy another horse. Problem solved.

Born in the valley
And raised in the trees
Of western Kentucky
On wobbly knees
With mama beside you
To help you along
Youll soon be a growing up strong.

All the long, lazy mornings
In pastures of green
The sun on your withers
The wind in your mane
Could never prepare you
For what lies ahead
The run for the roses so red --

And its run for the roses
As fast as you can
Your fate is delivered
Your moments at hand
Its the chance of a lifetime
In a lifetime of chance
And its high time you joined
In the dance
Its high time you joined
In the dance --

From sire to sire
Its born in the blood
The fire of a mare
And the strength of a stud
Its breeding and its training
And its something unknown
That drives you and carries
You home.

And its run for the roses
As fast as you can
Your fate is delivered
Your moments at hand
Its the chance of a lifetime
In a lifetime of chance
And its high time you joined
In the dance
Its high time you joined
In the dance --

I'm wondering if the owners cut their losses by selling the meat to the French.

Hate to see a fine horse die the way he did. While the effort to save Barbaro was noble, in the end we learn why horses with this injury are normally put down.

I know you cannot raise a "test tube" horse and compete. Wonder if a race horse can have any artificial husbandry in it's bloodline?
