In Memory of the Racehorse

Long legged, refined; An explosive turn of foot Racing to survive. Winners applauded; Losers are soon forgotten A bloody business. The rejects die young; no mercy being shown, slain Such a tragic end

so sad, I can see you really love horses. This reminds me of Black Beauty.

If they don't win, place, or show, they usually end up as meat for the big cats at the zoo. Good write.

This really tugged my heartstrings... beautifully scribed . ...btw, I'm not usually too much of a fan of haiku, because of their obvious restriction...but you do them quite well. Talent.
