Ridecamp: Re: [RC] Confirmed multiple horse death due to a Large Round Bale

Ohmagod, Angie,
I am trying to type this while rolling on the floor laughing my head

your explanation hands down to the origninal one offered. I wondered at the
time I read it if it was some wry humor which I just did not get.  Your's
however is some explanation!!!!!!
