First off I would like to...Hello Eight Belles,<br /> First off I would like to formally say hello and welcome to Horsin' Around. Secondly thank you very much on the compliment. Eight Belles was such a talented and beautiful horse, she deserved to be represented well.<br /><br />I know it's sad that horses must die in order to shake this industry into action, and I wish that part would change, but the bright side is that thanks to horses like Eight Belles, Pine Island, Fleet Indian, and Barbaro the sport is making an effort.NetworkEmpowermenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09053022764177401200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3549541742555961000.post-17411664796070629992009-12-16T23:33:36.827-05:002009-12-16T23:33:36.827-05:00Very nicely written.

It is always warming to see the lingering effects Eight Belles has left on so many and to see the gift she left all her equine friend's at work beginning to regulate the sport...the gift of a groundbreaking legacy that is changing the future of the horse industry --- the focus is now on improving industry standards, issues that need strict guidelines concerning equine health, safety, and the humane kind treatment of these beautiful gentle animals.<br /><br />EIGHTBELLESLEGACY.NETEIGHT BELLES LEGACYhttp://eightbelleslegacy.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3549541742555961000.post-80962122333741709752009-12-16T21:02:15.146-05:002009-12-16T21:02:15.146-05:00Rachel,

Her breakdown is among the most tragic, right there with Barbaro, Go For Wand, Pine Island and many more.

She was such a powerful filly and had just run her greatest race yet...It does not get much sadder.<br /><br />Thank you for the nice job in describing her and her career.
