Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.

I visited Cigar a while back, 3 years ago.. he was such a grumpy old man!! I have a gelding out of Palace Music and my horse looks so much like Cigar.. which isn't really saying much, both skinny!

Aw that brings tears to my eyes! Seems not so long ago that Bruce was riding him as his barn horse. Nice to see he has yet another good home.
