    Share your sorrow. I think it was you who provided the necessary advice
    on putting down a horse - on the cross made by two lines from the ear to
    the contralateral eye, towards the neck - a sad task that befell me two
    years ago, when my horse broke his hind leg: the tibia near the patella.
    Cold comfort that one 380 round dropped him dead - and a back-hoe nudged
    him into a deep grave.

    Sorry to hear that. Please accept my belated condolences.
