Horses! and pets/animals other than cats and dogs
Re: Horses! and pets other than cats and dogs
I needed that, seriously. I laughed harder at Comet's hard pass than at Az's river crossing.

Yes, yes they are!

Comet (Nejed Nijm Zarik) and I have completed our 100 miles in 22 hours and 4 minutes for our 2nd Virtual Tevis Cup.
Re: Horses! and pets other than cats and dogs
Congrats to you and Comet on the strong finish!
Re: Horses! and pets other than cats and dogs
Congratulations! And both you and your horse look in great shape.

Re: Horses! and pets other than cats and dogs
If you are a horse, that's the way to go.
Horses don't have actual heart attacks, the way humans do. They do suffer aneurysms, though.
One of my first horses, Donald, died the same way. I happened to be watching the horses grazing out in the pasture, not more than 50 or 60 feet away from Donald. Donald suddenly threw his head up, ran in a panic up a five or six foot rise, and fell over. I somehow knew as soon as I saw his head go up that there was something wrong, and ran out to him. The whole thing took less than a minute, and I know he didn't suffer very long.
He was a fabulous old boy.

I just saw the racing authority in CA has ordered a full autopsy. Medina Spirit was 3 years old.

Azastan, for the first 100 miles. (Az)
Nejed Nijm Zarik, for the second 100 miles. (Comet)
Valiant Guy, for the third 100 miles. (Fajr)
3 different horses, 300 miles of walking.
I do some strange things for fun, apparently.

Re: Horses! and pets other than cats and dogs
Santa Anita had, what, 37 track deaths in 2019; 20 each in 2020 and (so far) 2021. That sure seems like a lot, don’t it?
Lots of people out there ragging on Bob Baffert, saying he drugs his horses.

I guess this means no one appears to be interested in Fajr's completion.
Oh well, Fajr and I enjoyed ourselves.

Re: Horses! and pets other than cats and dogs
I think you and Fajr (and Azastan, and Nejed) did a fantastic job. Sometimes I don't post because I'm too bizzy being jealous.

Re: Horses! and pets other than cats and dogs
I wasn't on much yesterday, so I hadn't seen your post, but I think that's very cool! Well done to both you and Fajr!
