                NO. 2007-539,120; HONORABLE DON EMERSON, JUDGE

Before CAMPBELL and HANCOCK and PIRTLE, JJ.

                              CONCURRING OPINION
                                       
	The Court's disposition of this appeal is correct, and our disposition is properly and adequately supported by our conclusion the trial court accurately understood the scope of the remand from our first opinion. See Hudson v. Wakefield, 711 S.W.2d 628, 630 (Tex. 1986) (concerning limiting issues on retrial following remand).  But the Court's opinion does not stop there, and applies the doctrine of the law of the case to the issues the husband sought to re-litigate on remand, those being the characterization and valuation of the horses.  In my view our application of the law of the case doctrine here is not necessary to the disposition of the appeal, and its application to the characterization and valuation issues, fact-bound determinations in this case, is improper.  I therefore do not join in the Court's opinion but only its judgment.
