kmnmiamisax: John Henry?
I debated about whether I should post this because (1) I'm categorically opposed to asking questions since they steal 5 points from me and (2) this isn't really a question. But I couldn't find an appropriate place to put this in an answer so I decided to waste the 5 points for the first and probably only time.
I had the pleasure of visiting John Henry in August... I think it was actually 2 months ago tomorrow. They no longer asked him to come into the hall of champions ring, but we could stand by his stall. I had apple pieces that I stealthily fed to him out of my pocket ;o) He was looking a little skinny and he was clearly very old, but he was doing quite well. even well enough to pin his ears at the girl who was trying to halter him to take him for a walk! I took some pictures and thought that I should share with all of you. I hope you enjoy them.

them are all nice photo's.
i was never really a John Henry fan because he was done racing by the time i ever got into horse racing. so i never really heard much about him.
but i read up a little bit and he seemed like a great horse.

Disney's short animation about the legend John Henry. John Henry was a former slave who's mighty strength made him one of the earliest African-American role models. Wielding a sledge hammer forged from the chains that bound him in servitude, he was a one-man railroad crew who "could move mountains". He is put to the ultimate test when he faces a mechanical power hammer that threatens to take away his land.
