As we scroll through the Memorial, certain horse names jump out at us and strike a chord in our heart. We can tell much thought and care have gone into naming the horse. The name may reflect the horse’s physical or mental attributes; the sire; a person, place, or thing. And sometimes it’s as if the horse strives to live up to the qualities the name implies.
Remember these?
