What the Nation is saying about Affirmed - January 12th...

One of my favorites is gone now but I would have to agree with you TV, horses are born to run and they love it, when they are no longer able to run they become miserable they will sometimes cry to, so sad. R.I.P. Affirmed you were a beast.
While it is rational to be upset, if you have ever really been around a old horse that cannot get up, THAT is more heartbreaking than taking him out of his misery
I say "boo" to that! Any time a horse has to be "put down" it's sad. I saw where Kendall Hansen gave $12K to the adoption program. Gotta treat these animals with dignity. derbydeals.com
