I'm part of an equine forum called saddlesoap, and today (Rememberence Day) someone posted a link to an article written about the equines used in war. It really did make me think, and the article was very interesting. I decided to make a memorial manipulation, however my original idea wasn't working, and after attempting 3 or 4 manipulations this morning with great failure, I finally came up with this. I'm usre the horse could be placed better, but I like this design, and I hope you do to.

This is in rememberence of all the equines who suffered, were wounded and were lost on the battlefields, aiding their heroic masters. I have great respect for all of those who have fought, died and survived their own wars.

The article (If anyone is interested) is located here: [link]
Thanks to;
for the horse

IN FLANDERS FIELDS the poppies blow
Between the crosses row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
