Great. Did I say it was?

Sorry, but the eulogy to Barbaro was a little ridiculous. Its an animal. Ive been around and trained/raised horses all of my life. It is very sad when they die....but c'mon.

Both times you've posted in this thread you've talked about yourself. So you didn't have to say it was, but your posts prove you think otherwise.




RIP Barbaro

RIP Barbaro

Thanks for ingoring the point I was trying to make.

Please though, if you would, quote me where I said "this thread is about macallan25"

Thanks again for your concern.

Ride a cowboy.

Dude...this messageboard is like 85% female. We're way more attached to horses than guys, hence we're more emotional. However, while TBs have notoriously bad feet, they do not have 'fragile as delicate crystal hooves'. No horse does. Except maybe those that are worth over 100k.

Then you probably know what awesome animals they are.

How many people would keep going after breaking their leg? Very few...it's impressive to see an animal perform like that.

Well there was that guy that got his leg caught under a tree while hiking and after being trapped he sawed his own leg off with a pocket knife and then crawled for help. Impressive. That doesn't diminish the horse's achievement I just wanted to give some props to human-beings too

Are you talking about the guy who was rock climbing and had to cut his arm off with a dull pocket knife because it was stuck behind a fallen rock? The pocket knife was dull because he tried to hack away at the rock, so you could imagine how dull it was! Even worse, he broke his own arm so he could cut the bone.
