I have no opinion about what happened to Howard because I was not there and I 
do not know him but before you write posts like this one, you better make 
darn sure that nothing bad ever happens to one of your horses and you can't 
do that.  AS one of the my close friends with over 15,000 endurance miles 
says, if you don't want a horse to die, don't ride one.  Better yet, don't 
own one because it will probably happen to all of us..........Maryben
