	The Licorice Daughter: My Year with Ruffian by Lyn Lifshin
		Ruffian was strikingly beautiful, more like his Black Stallion the writer Walter Farley said than any colt he=d seen, the image of The Black Beauty.
		Ruffian was rare, perfect, spectacular, miraculous, bright and she is buried where no other horse has been buried, where she ran her first and last race at the infield at Belmont under the NYRA flag pole, her nose pointing, as it always did, toward the finish line.
		She was the grizzly bear, the ballerina, the Ruffian.

		We all loved Ruffian and if there is any way to preserve her memory (other than banning match races), it is to consider what her pedigree teaches us.

		Born in the spring of 1972, Ruffian was one of the greatest fillies the Thoroughbred racing world has ever known.

		Ruffian went on to win each one of her next nine races over the course of her two- and three-year-old seasons, making her ten for ten by the time she was to face the colt Foolish Pleasure (1975 Kentucky Derby winner) in one of history's most highly publicized match races.

	Ruffian With Megacolon
		The tinned pumpkin is about 21% fibre, but the main effect is that when it's in the bowel it draws water back from the body into the colon and it keeps the stools moist and soft and this makes them easy for the cat to pass.
		So I took her favourite tin of cat food, and I mixed it 50-50 with the tinned pumpkin and put that in front of her and she sniffed it and sulked and walked away.
		Finding a solution to Ruffian's problem and getting her fixed up was the good part.
