Barbaro dead
I’m not a fan of racing, but I do like horses. I’m not partial to thorobreds, more to draught horses, but when you’ve been around horses, and see how intelligent they are, you hate to see any of them die. And when a famous one dies it makes me think of all the ones who had been mistreated, and died in pain or hunger. WHen I used to go out with dad, I saw some pretty sickly horses, and my heart hurt for every one.
In one of his movies, I don’t remember which, the Duke has a horse shot out from under him. laying there, his leg trapped under the horse, he says “Blue, you never gave me cause to cuss you in life…”
Rest in peace, Barbaro.
Yes, I have eaten horse meat. Everything dies, and is eaten by something else. Never understood what the big deal was.

well, it’s like instead of being fired they just shoot you. Just my 2 cents – done it both ways…
True Grit maybe?
The horse’s name was Bo, and it was in True Grit.
Dad wasn’t much for horses, so I didn’t grow up around them. However, there are a lot of cow ponies in my neighborhood. Good ones are pretty smart fer sure.
Horses are just smart enough to be dangerous, IMHO.
The best thing about horses is that without them, a lot of good dogs would go to bed hungry…
I can’t stand horses. They’re barely smarter than cows. Give me a good mule any day, though.
I dunno bud, cows are smarter than some democrats.
Tastes like chicken…
Some? Well, okay: some Dems aren’t dumb, just fucking nuts.
yep, budd, that’s about right.
I’m with you on the mules, though. A mule is a fine animal, unworthy of it’s reputation as stubborn. I like me a mule just fine.
Sauerbraten made with horsemeat has no equal. But, as Dave Edmunds sang, “you ain’t never gettin up in one of those.”
I love horses. I can’t live without them.
They are Butiful creaters
P.S. yo Tennessee Budd you are a asshole and
motherfucker
