Thanks, bisket (one of our horses is named Biscuit )....indeed, the pain we feel when our beloved animals pass away is so hard to deal with. I'm sorry about your little Dachsund...we loose so many beloved pets during our own lifetime...it isn't fair.

I think you'll need to bet on Baffert's colt everytime he runs, bisket...since you are 'Lookin' at Lucky' everyday...talk about a hunch play!

Thank you, bisket.

The fact he lived for 32 years is a tribute to you Joanie.

So sorry Joanied. He lived a good long life and was fortunate to have you and your husband as his owners.

My goodness...I feel I should say thank you again...to everyone who has sent me their sympathy. I appreciate it, and Bo would too.
I had a mare that also lived to 32 years old...in fact, her obituary was in the Bloodhorse magazine, the Kentucky Derby issue for Barbaro...I still miss that old mare, and she was the only one that could put Bo in his place...he could be a real pest for the other horse's sometimes...see...now you guys made me smile

Thanks to all of you...I've always said, we got a great bunch of folks here

Joanied:

So sorry to hear about your loss. Bo was very lucky to have such a wonderful owner in his life as I know that you were to him.

He was truly blessed.

[badcompany]

Sorry, JonieD. He was a good-looking horse.

Joanied, You know that I feel your pain. It's so difficult to lose someone who was such an important part of our lives. I'm sure Bo had the best life and was so lucky/happy to have had you. And you were blessed to have him in your life. And let your other horses comfort you. My prayers are with you.

Sending Prayers and Hugs.
RIP Bo.

Really sorry to hear, joanied, but I'm sure his 32 years very happy ones with you.

Sorry for your loss Joanie---it sounds like you gave Bo 32 great years.

[nearco]

Sorry to hear about that news. He was a fine looking horse, the classic Morgan look and colour and it sounds like he had a a good run at it... 32 years is a grand age for any horse. Seems like the oldest ones are often the hardest, even though you know rationally that it's time to go. Must be all the good memories you accumulate over the years.

Damn horses, they do get inside your heart.

Yes, I do know, Judy...and thank you. I know you are missing someone very dear to you this holiday season...
take care, and have a wonderful Christmas.

Thank you...it's funny you should include that particular horse video...we used to have an old pickup truck we fed hay off of for the cows...so old, the pick up box had a wood floor...it quit on me one day, so I left it in the field...a few hours later when we went out to get it...there was Bo...standing in the back of that truck, just as happy as can be...and, I assume, quite proud of himself....silly horse...guess he thought we'd go for a drive !!

You made me smile...thank you!

Joanie, I'm sorry that you lost Bo--your longtime friend. I love Morgans. They're such strong, such sturdy, well built horses. They work well.

I've seen many in show rings that performed beautifully. Their bay coats glistened under the lights with their long black tails trimmed at the bottom, just like Frankel has done his runners for years.

In your photo, it looks like Bo was the complete package

Beauty and brawn.

You take care, sweetheart. Bo's at rest now.
