Late one afternoon over Christmas, I decided to go out for a walk along the main street of tiny, little Still Pond, Maryland, I discovered this R.I.P. tombstone in the front yard of a lovely old home. I cannot imagine where you would have room to put a horse down to rest because the driveway is right there to the left and the sidewalk and street are directly to the right. Needless-to-say, I did not knock on the door and ask questions. I just stopped and took these two pictures.

interesting. i guess you do what you have to... my 2 mares are buried in the pasture behind the barn. :)
ReplyDeleteHow odd and sad if they have lost their beloved horse!
ReplyDeletePoor old Jefferson. RIP!
ReplyDeleteIt makes horse sense to me.
ReplyDeleteFunny. You never know what you'll find in the backwoods!
ReplyDeleteAwwwww.......
ReplyDeleteWell, it definitely looks like a beautiful spot for the horse to be laid to rest.
ReplyDeletecould it be left overs from halloween decor?
ReplyDeletepoor jeff davis :(
ReplyDeleteHi Genie,
ReplyDeleteyou asked about the mouse over thing... click that link & check it out... that's the one I use.
Let me know if you need more help.
This might sound crazy, but who names a horse Jeff Davis? Maybe it IS decorations left over from Halloween. Good catch. Makes for a LOT of conversation, that's for sure!
ReplyDeleteI THOUGHT my grocery bill was getting exhorbitant! I NEVER pay attention to the price per pound on meat. I guess I need to now! Ha ha!
ReplyDeleteBy naming their horse the way they have, they have nailed their Civil War colours to the mast!
ReplyDeleteI'm confused about the 'Jeff Davis' and 'Jefferson', still a shame to lose a good horse and friend.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love the name Still Pond...imagine being asked where you live and you say Still Pond!
ReplyDeleteNicely spotted! Poor old Jefferson!
ReplyDeleteThat is pretty odd. Odd and funny! You just never know what you will see if you're really looking...
ReplyDeleteI can't imaging that either. I'm guessing it's a memorial.
ReplyDeleteGood catch.
ReplyDeleteI think if it was left over from halloween it would be a bit spookier.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting, it must be a very large grave!
ReplyDeleteThese signs are also funny. I think that's a left over from Halloween. ^_^
ReplyDeleteSigns
what an interesting location for a horse' grave. RIP Jeff.
ReplyDeleteThat's a log of deep digging!
ReplyDeleteI found a similar marker last week and had the same question. Is the horse buried here or is this just a memorial marker?
ReplyDeleteI love mysteries.
Interesting find.
ReplyDeleteGenie, that's hilarious--it would take one big hole to bury a horse. Here in Montana, when a horse dies on a forest trail, they dynamite it (so the carcass doesn't attract bears). Guess you could still put out a sign...
