Default A Final Farewell

Give sorrow words;
the grief that does not speak
Whispers the o'er-fraught heart
and bids it break.

I was sorry to see these ones go, thank you for reminding us of them - they were wonderful horses that were a pleasure to watch run...

Also Ruhlmann.

I was moved by so many losses this year. I think we also need to take note of horses that were almost on this list like Clever Allemont who avoided it thanks to some kind souls.

Rest and Run In Peace. I've told you before. If HIS eye is on the sparrow....I know HIS eye is on these. Thank you Miss Storm Cat for caring and taking note. There will be another day.

Great list...brought back a number of tragic memories. Not sure if I missed him or not, but Ruhlmann passed away in Christmas eve as well at Old Friend's.

I'm sorry to have left off Ruhlmann... I'll edit his name in and a couple of others I accidentally forgot.

Hopefully the list won't be quite as long next year...

Run in peace, all of you.

You amazed me with your thoroughness before. I was scrolling through and saw Flying Pidgeon and that led me to look for Ruhlmann. Poor Dynamite Ollie is a late addition. I'm glad Indyanne's not among them.

God bless you, and God bless all these we have lost. I am man enough to admit that I have shed a tear or two for some on this list. It is the one soul-crushing facet of this game.....everyone should remember win or lose, this game is about the HORSES!!!!!!!

Thank you Miss Storm Cat for this post. As we all gear up for the new year with, looking forward with our resolutions and such, your post gives us a real opportunity to look back and reflect on 2008. It is such a long list with so many losses. Let's hope 2009 is better.

Thanks again.

Such a long list this year of those that have brought us so much joy and delight, some in tragedy and some at the end of a long life.
Thank you MMSC for reminding us of those that we lost and hopefully will not be forgotten.

I'm not sure if this is appropriate here and feel free to edit it...but I would like to mention the excersise riders and jockey that were tragically lost this year. I mention them as they are the people that get up every day to ride for our joy and delight.
