What is this rubbish, cloaked in frills and sweet sounding no substance phrases? It's message seems little more than a "permission" to euthanize while offering no insight into the complexities of such decisions. Proper oversight, with attention to safety and well-being (in life) should be our main focus. Our failures in providing this-inherent to this "sport"- cannot be excused by patting ourselves on the back when the too often rationalized/often purely self-serving option of euthanasia is exercised.

What animal in this world can outrun the wind more beautifully than a racehorse. Even when their time comes to sleep and leave this good earth a fleet of angels possess them and treat their hearts kindly into the heavens of Kentucky where the white rail awaits their spirit forever.

What a beautiful writing and tribute you gave to these wondrous animals. We need never to take them slightly.

Wow. May we take the line, "Everything in nature deserves to be watched over" and adhere our lives to it. The horses are blessed to have an author such as this. Happy New Year and Happy Birthday to all our equine friends!
