Default Farewell, Meese Rocks

I stopped doing threads for particular horses that I liked if they had passed for fear of being slammed (cause I had been, repeatedly).

Screw that.

She was a really nice horse and never got a thread in life, so...

A touching bit about this fine girl and the people she leaves behind.

Maybe I have a long list of horses I'll never forget but she is definately on it.

Good night, good girl.

A shame.

Deepest condolences to her people.

That's a shame, she was a hard-knocking horse. RIP

Laminitis kills too many horses that otherwise would be saved, it's a terrible thing.

What a lovely tribute they have written of their girl. Condolences to her family.

Just awful. Heart goes out to Barker and the owners. She was the goods.
