I guess Barbaro needed a friend in Heaven's stable.

Poor Boxer.

I miss that girl. When her plane crashed, not only were we robbed of a great musical talent but a budding film star too.

Why does God take the good ones so young?

If I had a thoroughbred race horse, I'd just go out and admire him every day. I'd brush him and feed him carrots and smell his nice smell. Horses might be the Big Stupid, but they're the loveliest animals in the world.

cryinoutloud: Horses ... they're the loveliest animals in the world

Loveliest? I reserve that term for animals that don't get all bitey.

In other news, Ralston Purina to come out with a limited edition dog food.

Is subby's headline slightly in poor taste? Yes.

Did this fact cause me to not laught? Neigh...

Alysheba was euthanized Friday night following a fall in his stall at the Kentucky Horse Park's Hall of Champions

Really? I heard earlier his condition had been upgraded to stable.

You know, based off of your *ahem* apparent affection of horses, there might be a certain type of internet fan fiction that might be right up your alley....

"As Sally brushed Buttercup's silky mane, she marvelled at his muscular build.... She knew these feelings were wrong but still..."

+1, subby. Subtle but awesome.

I'm hoarse too, from screaming at your mom.

Outta the way...

/Good night, funny horse.

That horse's name sounds Arab. Are we sure he's really not a Muslim turrist in disguise?

Has anyone checked on Sarah Jessica Parker?

Deaths always come in threes.....

Subby, STFU about some stupid horse.

Almost as much as i do! (keep you glued to the page)
Got Carrots?

Approve, want to polish the horses' hooves and take them to the horse dentist.

Mr Hands would agree with you methinks...

keep on runnin'

Thanks, Calvin Coolidge, for the new character sure to appear in my next horsey nightmare.

I slaughtered this horse last Tuesday. I think it's startin' to turn.

Not as tasteless as the thirty "Sarah Jessica Parker heartbroken" HL's you probably had to wade through...

Millions_Knives: keep on runnin'

Is that a quarter Horse?

His story will keep you glued to the page



I darn you to heck, subby.

I'm not a fan, but that's just too much.

That's one hell of a long article for a dead horse.

Oh no, an animal died? We should make this a national day of mourning. Personally I hate horses. I've worked with horses, I've cared for horses. They are the most absolutely unintelligent animals in existence. You give them the benefit of the doubt because they don't flee when a human walks into the room. But as soon as you realize that moving a cardboard box completely freaks them out, you lose all respect for any intelligence that you thought they had. Even cows, which I've seen try to hide under each other when they heard a car backfire, seem more intelligent than a horse.

I adore horses, but they are a mixed bag. It's silly when people criticize animals for their genetic behavior and characteristics.

Horses are a prey animal, deal with it. Do you really want a smart, omnivore horse who can plan stuff?

They are basically horse power. No smart animal will tolerate the burden they carried through human domestication.

"No sir, I don't like it"

Mister Would You Please Help My Pony?

first and last i've heard of it. and i didn't care a whit in between.

Wow, take a Valium and have a nap dude, it'll be okay.

You got kicked in the dick by a horse, didn't you?

Placed a 100 bucks on a 40:1 longshot and never looked back.
Thanks.

As someone who lived on a horse farm, I completely agree.

How can a horse with a turrist-soundin name be Amurka's horse?

Harry_Seldon: No smart animal will tolerate the burden they carried through human domestication.

No cat saddles?

Nobody's said, "why the long face?" yet? I guess that joke really is as lame as I thought it was.

Equine heroics.

Scrolling through, I thought that horse was doing something totally different to that dude...

Sort of a courthouse artist's rendering of the "Mr. Hands" video if you will.

I foxhunted yesterday aboard a magnificent horse named Monty. We jumped, we galloped, we bobbed and weaved through the woods, scambled up rocky, muddy hills, slid back down them, crashed through streams and did all of the above for hours. And through it all Monty took good care of me. He never fell, never unseated me, and soaked up the love at the end when I hugged and thanked him and gave him carrots.

There is STILL no mechanical contrivance that can outperform a horse for covering territory. All terrain capability, semi-automonous guidance, with an extended sensor suite that can hear and see better than me.

All packaged in a graceful and powerful piece of living artwork. They are the most noble creatures on the planet.

I have always wanted to foxhunt but I am afraid I am too much of a weenie to pull it off - I show saddleseat and I do know the feeling you are talking about. There is no better feeling than being carried around the ring by a horse that is there just to show everyone how great he is. My old country pleasure horse did not like other people very much but he always took great care to make sure I was okay even in the damndest situations...

Brilliant, brilliant headline, submitter.

Pas de cheval, beaucoup de glue.

Helicopters can do all that. Kill a lot more foxes too if thats what you want to do with one..
