The Heroic Fallen: a 2008 equine tribute

this is just a montage i put together in honor of all of the extraordinary horses that have died in 2008.They include, in chronological order: Leprechauns Rowdy Boy and Direct Merger at the Red Hill Horse Trials, Frodo Baggins and The Quiet Man at Rolex Kentucky, Eight Belles in the Kentucky Derby, and Theodore O'Connor, the Bionic Pony, as the result of a freak stable accident. All of these horses were superb examples of the highest levels of their disciplines, and this year has truly been a tragic one for the equine community as a result of their deaths.Disclaimer: none of these photos belong to me.The song is "Above the Wreckage" by Dishwalla.
