It was a horrific deed these young men proceeded to do in killing Have At It and Rocket in the Pittsfield area. My heart goes out to the owners and the caravan folks.

Perhaps these young men should be sentenced for two years to a stable that will feel comfortable with them, to learn from the hoof up about horses every day; mucking, feeding, grooming and dressing a horse.

They should be involved in horseback riding for the handicapped – two years also. If they could see the delight and love in the children’s eyes for their horses, hopefully their attitude would change.
