Quoted from Blackbeard:We're beating a very dead horse here.
If that could be confirmed, we could close this thread.
The situation right now is that we're being told that the horse is in the barn, almost ready to come out for a ride! We just have to wait for final adjustments to the saddle and stirrups, and she wants to have one more nibble of alfalfa. It'll just take a few more months. But don't go anywhere, that barn is totally going to get opened, and the horse looks magnificent. Just be patient. The horse is definitely, definitely not dead and rotting.
That smell must be something else.
