[RC] Old Horses and Weighing Decisions - cynthia hamberg

As I looked between the ears of my 19 1/2 year old retired Thoroughbred 
endurance horse yesterday, Don Huston's words rang true...Our older guys not 
only make us happy, they never make us blue.  They will never get a DNF again, 
nor ride to mountains high.  But no money could you offer for my Encanto Boy to 
buy...He has a home forever--although not yet in the sky...But, someday he will 
run there with his buddies from up high...When I have to make that choice, a 
sad day it will be.  But, to have loved him is way better than if we had never 
been...
