Posted by: Genecis at December 4, 2005 12:07 PMIsn't anyone else curious as to what happened to kill him? And was it a mare or a stallion? And did it get upset if he was just horsing around? Perhaps he made a mistake and picked a horse-de-combat.

Posted by: Lou Gots at December 4, 2005 8:43 PMYou guys are missing the point. The tape! The tape! Where's the tape?! He captured this guy's death on tape. You think the cops and their select pals are not playing that tape over and over at the Enumclaw police headquarters, yelling and spilling their coffees when the horse goes POW!
