Michael Thomson Posted 18 March , 2019 Share Posted 18 March , 2019 It's good to see that the memory of this horse - and by extension those of all the horses who served in the Great War - is being respected and kept alive. Sadly, like with so much modern 'public art' the tastefulness of the design is up for debate but it is wonderful that this grave and this horse's memory will be preserved. On another note, if Blackie died at the age of 37 then he or she had a marvellously long innings...especially considering the injuries suffered and the hard conditions he or she must have endured on the Western Front. Today a good lifespan for a horse is considered to be anywhere from 25 to 30 years of age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
