2006 Kentucky Derby

[FeelnAcey]

I heard this on CNN on the way home tonight. Barbaro, I think they where talking about Barbaro. Said the horse broke his leg, and after several month of trying everything to heal this horse...ended up having to put him down gently.

So harrowing and sad for me to learn this. I was an aspiring race horse trainer once many years ago. I love horses of every type, but race horses where closest to my heart always.

It is fitting that this horse would be put to rest in hallow ground where he had his great showing....and where a few champion horses from history are laid to rest.

When you think of my life on earth
And those loving years,
Because you're only human
They are bound to bring you tears.

But do not be afraid to cry
It does relieve the pain,
Remember there would be no flowers
Unless there was some rain.

And to my very dearest friends
Trust God for He knows best,
I'm still not far away from you
I'm just beyond the crest.

And now I am contented
That my life... it was worthwhile,
Knowing as I passed along the way
I made somebody smile.

Don't know to much about it but would like to know a little more about it.
