Frodo Baggins and The Quiet Man Tribute

This is a tribute to the two horses that died at Rolex this year. The songs are Afterglow (my favorite song) and God's Top Ten by INXS. Laine you are in everyone's thoughts and prayers.

Very nice

Thank You for sharing it with us.

Would you please add Eight Belles to this? She belongs here, too.

I think it's beautiful & heart-wrenching to see our majestic & courageous companions giving us their all...

their very lives...

just because we ASK it of them...

My deepest heartfelt wishes for a speedy recovery for Laine...

May the memories of Frodo Baggins, The Quiet Man and Eight Belles live strong and fierce inside of all that knew and loved them.

Respectfully

It is unfortunate what happened at the Kentucky Derby. There are a lot of horses that have died recently who deserve to be in the tribute which is also very unfortunate. I am glad that you enjoyed the video and thanks for the nice comments! ~H~

and know i love the song because my horse just died. but the sad part is i only had her for a month.i listen to this song alot and know she will always be with me near or far i know she loved me and i know she is happy where she is

These horses are so talented and beautiful. the songs are perfect. but you have to give the horses a tribute for being the best they could be. To put in all that efort and work that hard to get to be at the place they where. both these horses are talented beautiful as i said but loved and ready to do anything. i bow my head and think of them at next years Rolex

Frodo Baggins and the Quietman wee bolth beautifull and talented. They gave theyre best,and much, much more. Both of the songs are perfect. I admire Lainie and Sarah for the deep bonds they had with these amazing creatures. While the deaths of these two horses feel trajic to us, i belive that it feels a nother hundred times worse for theyre riders. May they both rest in peace, and be in our hearts for ever.

He died when his foot caught and he flipped over the jump, landing on his head in cross-country. It was a very terrible death.
