En in de paardenhemel lopen heel wat dieren rond met een pluk uit hun staart.
De dieren die veel betekend hebben voor hun mens.

Daar is een heel mooi gedicht van.. Dat willen we trouwens ooit zelf ook nog uitprinten of op canvas doen en bij Thorin's staart hangen.

The Best Horses in Heaven, They Have No Tail
The best horses in Heaven
they have no tail.
This is a rule they all know
without fail.
For when a new horse arrives
with a short cut bob,
they all know that this horse
did a very good job.

His owner could not bear
to part with her friend
so she saved his tail,
wrapped in ribbons
and in braids,
to hold with his memory
in a very loving way.

To enter Heaven
without a tail
is an honor,
a message,
that without fail
announces to everyone,
far and wide
that this horse
was more than a wonderful ride.

But
this horse was loved and cherished by one
and when his time serving on this Earth was done
he left behind
a broken heart
and a soul
from which he never will part.
