I fell off one as a kid. (I know, that might explain a lot.) But I don't actually hate horses.

So, does this mean I'm now actually talking to a man about a horse?

I know I'll take some heat, but if a horse is an athlete, then so are the bulls in the rodeo and the dogs in the agility contests.

I draw the line at people. Or perhaps we can extend this board to discussing how to officiate donkey basketball, too?

Fire away.

It's strange how word of a racing horse being put down weighs on us. Seems to sadden a lot of people, even those who don't watch horse racing. From the sound of things, I don't think he'll last through the weekend. It'll be front page on every sport section in the country

I think it's because we all felt a closeness to Mr. Ed.

It is strange. Why are some people affected like this? Personally, it weighs on me a lot more when my stupid dog rolls in something that stinks.

The roses are not less lovely for all that. The birds sing just as happily in my garden.
