And forever, brother, hail and farewell!

~Catullus

Greetings, be they hello or good-bye, to our friends and companions in the Thoroughbred world.  They are the horses that run in our dreams and beckon us to undiscovered horizons.  Meet the foals of the new year, on their long and promising legs, as they race toward a future unknown and full of hope...  for hope is the quality which exists as a constant, and the driver that keeps us to the path.  Say good-bye and safe journey to our friends and racing heroes who have left us for greener pastures.  May they fly without wings until we meet again.

When a race horse is buried, most often, it is the head, heart, & hooves.   The head represents the will to win. The heart represents courage. The hooves represent speed. Sunny's Halo, 1983 Kentucky Derby winner, will be moved from his burial site in Texas to join Swaps, Broker's Tip, and Carry Back at the Kentucky Derby Museum, Churchill Downs. Explore statuary tributes and museum pieces from other famous horses in Roadside America's Faithful Steeds Tour.

Child of the pure, unclouded brow and dreaming eyes of wonder! Though time be fleet and I and thou are half a life asunder, The loving smile will surely hail The love -gift of a fairy tale. ~Lewis Carroll Meet the new Thoroughbred foals: 2008 2007 2006 Take a look at the Stallion Books: Proposed 2008 Matings Proposed 2007 Matings 2006 Matings

Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A  farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends. ~Richard Bach   Bid farewell to those who left in:  2005 2006 2007 2008 or include a tribute to someone special in the Eulogy Book.
