one horse dies
A friend sent me a link to this article in the NY Times.
I'm not the only one feeling sad about the death of a horse I didn't know.
I know, okay? There is no logical reason to feel sad about Barbaro's death...and yet as this article suggests, maybe it's not Barbaro, maybe it's because of every horse is pure of heart.
Yes, I did tear up during the Flicka trailer, (the new one, the one that will probably be completely stupid) and even though I've seen it many times, I always cry during Old Yeller, and yes, even though I've read it several times, I'm sure I'll cry again the next time I read Where the Red Fern Grows. Actually, I'm glad these things still get to me. I hope they always do.
Back to work...back to prepping for my class and logging and editing Roadside Texas and writing the next new thing and getting JOB sold and completing a freelance assignment and sorting through the stack of paperwork on my desk.

I love horses. The short I'm working on now has some horses in it, and it was such a joy to go out and film them and just be around them. One of them was rolling around on its back in the dirt, exactly the way my cat likes to. They make me happy.
But anyway, any animal dying will always make me sad. I could barely watch Rear Window when I saw it on the big screen earlier this summer because of the scene where they find the little dead dog. And Au Hasard Balthazar? Saddest movie ever.
