I'll take that life.

I didn't forget, but it's going to be hard for the horse to have a life as a stud when it's dead from laminitis. Elmer's Glue. Purina Dog Chow.

I own and use horses, so this one really does hit home. I have had to put my share of them down for various reasons. They are like family....and yes I have fallen off of a few of them LOL...
