Comments on: Dead Horse “Lives” in Marvel of Taxidermy http://blog.modernmechanix.com/2007/01/10/dead-horse-lives-in-marvel-of-taxidermy/ Yesterday's tomorrow, today.

One thing amassed me, when I was looking at the horse and all the memorabilia around it; there was no mention of the taxidermist! If this was a sculpture or a painting you would be proud to add the artists name? Taxidermy done right is probably one of the hardest art forms there is and like any artist we all like the respect of being recognised for the hard work put into the job. Thanks for putting this article on line. Now we all know Congratulations to "Jonas Brothers" for some outstanding work.
