Barbaro...

[FeeTurbule]

one question: why did passed away? I don't know the story of that horse, but it seems that they tried to save him... No?

[weesophz93]

@FeeTurbule he shattered a leg, then when he was getting better he took laminitis and there was nothing more that could be done, its such a shame :(

[FeeTurbule]

@weesophz93 poor boy... is it me, or in the past, race horses did not break down that much like today?

[weesophz93]

@FeeTurbule i think its probably because its publicised a lot more these days and more people are concerned about the horse's wellbeing. im not a fan of racing, but theres not much that be done, its just one of those things

[cicsco13]

I bet Barbaro and Eight Bells are racing in heaven right now :'( i love you so much Barbaro!!!<3

[minnipinni95]

wow he is so beautyfull

[jennakinney11181997]

we miss you you were great.:(

[BeetleSales]

The only reason everybody loved Barbaro is because his name was plastered all over CNN News. I can almost guarantee half of you morons have never even watched a feature race; let alone wager on one. If there wasn't a single headline in regards to Barbaro's passing, none of you here today would give a rats ass.

[DarkChoco123321]

@BeetleSales Whoa there! Let's not start accusing people that you don't know anything about! And hey, you're right about one thing: I haven't watched a full Barbaro-featured race, but that doesn't mean I heard about him on the news and care about his death because everyone else does. I'm a Hunter-Jumper, and a retired Champion left my barn Saturday. I miss him so much, I was the one who took care of him while they found him a new home. Even before so, I rode him. I get the tradegy of Barbaro.

[ThePonyhorsegirl]

I miss you Barbaro! You are my hero! I love you with all my heart and always will! Goodbye best friend

[velcho1969]

0:43 - I have that pic as my wallpaper! <333333333333

[Horsebackriderx2]

We love you Barbaro. I bet he is racing Big Red "Secretariat" up in horsey heaven right now. :)

[GreenDayFreak963]

I cried... It was so sad when he died. A horse such as this should not have had this happen. So great, so powerful. It's a shame what happened. May Barbaro rest in peace. ='(.

[BreyerLoverHorsie78]

Oh Barbaro.... another broken racehorse who didn't get his second chance

[Ilovemysketch]

What a great video ='(.....

Rest in Peace Barbaro...

[12HorseGirl12]

at 1:03 look at his back left ankil (spell) Poor horse. Forever may he rest in peace

[deutschschoen]

Why was this animal slaughtered? Could his semen not be very valuable? I understand of course that live cover was impossible. Potential clients were probably a bit afraid that their foal might inherit Barbaro's weak bones. But to waste this animals genetics makes no business sense at all. Idiots.

[Arythielle]

@deutschschoen "This animal" is Barbaro, and he wasn't slaughtered. He was euthanized. Yes, it probably was valuable (whether he had weak bones or not. The fact he was injured doesn't necessarily mean he had weak bones), but his owners were more concerned with him and his health than selling off his semen. I'm assuming that's why they euthanized him rather than keeping him alive and in pain so they could extract it or w/e. It's not all about business, you dolt. Grow a heart.

[Calicat1994]

@Arythielle your right I saw an interview with his owners, they pushed his recovery as far as they could but after he developed lamantitis they said he became more and more listless and in pain. His good attitude before was what kept them going and when it became obvious that he was miserable, they decided to end his suffering. As sad as it is, I agree with thier decision.

[stablematelover45]

@deutschschoen HE WASN'T SLAUGHTERED HE DIED WHEN THE GROOM WAS WASHING HIM!

[sugarmypaint1]

@stablematelover45 No he got laminitis in his front legs after he had had it in his bak left leg and shattured bones in his right left leg. it could not be healed and he was sufering so they had to put him down.

[funsizedruple]

this is good but sad vid



[Sixteenka2]

Good !=( R.I.P =(

[jessou79160]

jetaime barbaro

='( tu ns manque a ts

[l0rd0fh4rdc0r3]

He didn't only won races , he won hearts as well

even my heart*

[popstar45661]

i miss him sooo much best horse ever RIP BABY BOY I LOVEYOU

[alyssahorsejohnson]

i love you barbaro you won a couple of races the last race he did not win becuse he sharred his lag.

[horselover4life08]

A true LEGEND !!!! Will always miss and love you .... Never forget you .... amazing runner, with amazing strenght and mostly amazing speed

R.I.P Barbaro x x x x x

[Ponypal95]

Barbaro couldn't have been saved. The Jackson's did the right thing by putting him out of his pain. He had Laminitis in all but on hoof that was making it painful for him to walk.

[ThEgUrLtHeYcAlLbItCh]

that are suffering lots. barbaro could have been saved but it would have been a long time to tell if the physio n everything had worked. r.i.p boy look after my pony jessie for me please. she was killed earlier this year by her owner we sold her to. (animal cruelty) is all i will say brings back to much hurt n pain talking bout it.

[ThEgUrLtHeYcAlLbItCh]

how old was he wen he was put to sleep? he was fairly young wasnt he? it was a shame it ended so early for him he was a good horse. he could have been saved but the pain would have been to much for him. plus to learn to walk n everything again. my mum use to say wen we put my bootiful staffy to sleep you have to be cruel to be kind i never knew wat it meant til i found out the real reason y she let the vet put cruiser my staffy down n i no cruiser is a dog but it goes for anything dats sufferin

[robinyoung71]

he had to have been 3 since they don't let 4 year olds run in the triple crown and if I remember correctly he broke his leg in one of the triple crown races which i think was the Preakness but i'm not sure

[lintu1409]

@horsebreedingfan2

if the stallhands accidentally let him free and caught him again, they should've seen he wasn't walking right. and they should've said it to barbaro's owner/owners so he could be taken out of the race.

NOTE: it's not an attack on anyone just reasonable question i think

barbaro is a beautiful horse and it's sad he had to be put down, R.I.P barbaro

[horsebreedingfan2]

I know how he died. Stall hands loosened his gate, so he burst out, and wacked his leg on the way out, so he was reloaded and when he started the race, his leg was already injured, so that made it worse. He pulled up because it had already broken, but it was made worse by galloping to the first turn.

[LenolaTracky613]

yeahno.

[MilzPonyFan]

Aww it made my cry ='[

Love you Babaro!

RIP xxxx

[trevorsgrl15]

purely amazing video! WOW, What I special tribute... one of the best I've seen so far! R.I.P. Barbaro (aka beautiful boy)

[iluvmyhorsie123]

He was a gorgeous horse. And i'm not just saying that because he's Barbaro. He was a gorgeous horse.

RIP

[SierraSyd08]

that was a sad day.. I had another horse leave me that day and i hope met barbaro.. my new horse was born the same day as him though that was cool

R.I.P

[BarbaroPrince]

Barbaro is the best horse ever. this video makes me cry. But its good...I love it.

R.I.P My big boy!

[Speedwheezie]

In his name FANS OF BARBARO are trying to save USA horses, ponies, donkeys going to slaughter in Mexico & Canada where they are stabbed in the spine and killed in horrific ways.

To learn more connect with other Barbaro fans google alexbrownracing

[Barbaro1horsefan1]

he was a star..thanx 4 making such a great vid 4 barbaro...he was a legend and always will be!

[ELZHARZ]

the breyer model looks nothin alike!!

[LoveTheDream101]

I remember watching the horse race live when Barbaro started limping. Then I remember seeing Eight Belles at the finish line then the camera finishes. That was the last glimpse of her. She had a good last fight. Horse racing just isn't what it used to be.

[StyleMisser]

HiI was crying when I saw this.its so sad I just so happened to have bein watching his breakdown it was sad.

[horsepower060]

thts so sad. i met him as in Barbero befor. he is really nice

[RidingWithRuffian]

I LOVE this!!

Barbaro will always run forever in our hearts. :)

[moviemaster9999]

where is the fun part????

[runwildnfree]

u kno whats sad barbaro didnt even die from the broken bone he got laminitis n fought it n fought it b4 he died

[LUCKYBROOKS]

Thank-You for the tribute to my cousin -'DOC'

[DreamSceneHorseGirl]

You did a really good job on this video. It just so heartbreaking that Barbaro and now Eight Belles left us. Maybe those two are racing right now. At least they died both doing what they loved. : (

[midtownmommy1]

i have lost 3 horses. 2 to broken legs 1 to colic. i hated to see him AND 8 bells go up. RIP to both of them! i love u barbaro!!!!! i also agree with taco9911

[horseowner]

You know I am so tired of people talking about him and Eight Bells, but you can't help but cry when you see this video. I am just balling my head off because I know what is like to lose a horse and just...I don't know, but I am faving this.

[kingandamy]

i totaly agree with kingfieni292

[kingandamy]

rip barbro i love u so much im crying now

[taco9911]

I think barbaro needed company so he took eight belles with him also

RIP barbaro and eight belles

[AngelaCass1988]

He was an extraordinary horse! very very wonderful! i fell in love with him and cried when he was gone! R.I.P Barbaro!

[cadeypeddle]

a very beautiful and striking horse!! RIP!

[waffleluver29]

we all just know that everyone misses him but i guess it was almost like it was supposed 2 happen he is in a better place we dont have to worry about him any more love ya barbaro

[Sterlingsilver1230]

You guys are so wrong...All of you, I knew Micheal Matz, he cared about that horse very much, and I am not sure if any of you heard, Barbaro was worth over 20million dollars and his owners didn't put him down for that. He was an amazing horse, his owners and Micheal loved him. Money is just a sad misfortune, I wish money wasn't a big part of racing because when something happens ppl just asume that it was for the money...And your wrong.

[DannysLight]

i know what you're coming from. I agree with you 100%, i get yelled at at school because i'm in horse racing and when horses break down people start blaming me and my horse racing buddies

[PortugueseHorseLover]

R.I.P Barbaro, I luv u!

[anusiaa95]

pinnacle studio ?

[kingfieni292]

I don't believe that either. This month's Reader's Digest had a story by Prado (his jockey) and it never said a word about a leg problem. The owners were, by all accounts, horse lovers rather than 'horse people' and wanted to save his life because they loved him. His racing career was over, he might possibly have been able to stud later on. But everything points to the owners still having tried to save him even if he'd been a gelding.

[mandygrl16]

doont forget tht barboro lies in the arms of the angels now

[pvmsfh13]

I love it. Barbaro was a great beautiful horse and we will always remember him. Like it says in mine. He could have wo ad I know he would have.

[Blackfoot1995]

OMG i LOVE barbaro I have his book poster stuffed toy and if i ever get a horse of my own id name him barbaro bane or spirt of barbaro I MISS YOU BARBARO *crys*

[hippitor]

You know, I appreciate that the people who owned/trained/knew Barbaro loved him. But they could have done him a big favor by letting him actually grow up before asking him to work so hard. SO MANY young Thoroughbreds are destroyed by being raced at such a young age...their bodies can't handle the strain of being started as long yearlings and raced at 2-3 years old. They are just babies. And the racing industry and fans continue to promote it! *sigh* (shakes head)

[jumpdressage4life]

Race horses are in there prime at 2-3. But your right it causes injurys and problems later on. They are breed for it soooo idk...

[sassygirl6969]

That is true but what I REALLY hate to see is inbreeding,that has rined the breed alot.:(

[poniesrockandsodoi07]

i must say i was in tears to watch this

bye barbaro

[klatham92]

well wasnt he on that on back leg so much hat it founderd so both back legs were hurt so yeah it breaks my hart to imagine being the owners

[horsecrazy4911]

i love the video it breaks my heart everytimme i see barbaros face! he was a great race horse ! i rember watching it on tv(when his leg shattered) i couldnt belive it! then when i saw that they put him downi t made me want to cry but it was the best thing for him!

[cassierocks999]

Hey this is very good

[LeaderStorm]

guess what some guy that saw Barbaro that my mom knows said the trainer didn't want Barbaro to race but the owners said no he will be fine and now look at him stupid owners

[hollywoodundead4ever]

wtf.

his owners loved him very much!

how dare u say that!

[Titanicheartshorses]

uumm his owners loved Barbaro to death. The reason you probably think differntly is becuase they let him be euthanized. well would you have liked to see Barbaro suffer longer and still not make it? Both owners and trainer knew what was best for him. so stop it.

[LeaderStorm]

they didn't all the cared about was the money because someone my mom knows knew the trainer he said Barbaro had problems with his leg the one that broke and the owners said race him anyway now he's dead

[Titanicheartshorses]

i honestly do not believe that. Micheal Matz is someone who knows and cares about horses. And racing is not all about money. Yes, people do bet on horses and that crap but i have visited a horse farm, and they care about them very much.

[LeaderStorm]

yes but as I said before I my mom knew someone who knew the trainer they were jerks who only cared for money

[mandygrl16]

Why would they not care about him all trainers and jockeys have a deep passion for their horses ans are dedicated to them! Yes they race but its not all about money

[sassygirl6969]

actually...no offense but in Edgar Prado's book (My Guy Barbaro) he talked about things like that,he said "And it pains me when I hear jockeys and owners say things like 'I can't wait to get out of hear'"

but seriously some people are only in it for money.

[cvr30]

Yes you get them people evreywhere

show horse owners are only in it for the rosettes and stuff sometimes

[sassygirl6969]

I just think thats a disgaceshaks head*crazy people

[sassygirl6969]

whoops, that was supossed to say, "What a disgrace*shakes head* crazy people." But, I can't type for crap, lol

[horsetrd]

racing is all about the all mighty dollar, dont be fooled they are not much loved pets by any stretch of the imagination, just another number.

[smartcowgirl]

horse racing isnt always about how much $ u can make. . . yea u do make a lot if u when but there are trainers and owners who really care about the horses & just love the sport of it and so do some of the horses they love to run . . . and some of them are pets and thats no way a stretch of the imagination and it isnt just another # !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Titanicheartshorses]

What song is this? is really pretty!

[RanchGrlUSA]

ooh ooh!! i know!! i know!! pick me!! pick me!! anyway its called when your gone

[Horsez619]

barbaro was a famous racehorse that broke his leg while he was running in a race, then when his leg was recovering i think he got laminitis in his hoof or hooves. that is wat i think happened

[Horsez619]

barbaro was a famous racehorse that was put to sleep after a race and he broke his leg then he got lamanitis in his hooves. that is wat i think happened

[wemissubarbaro]

he did break his leg and he did get laminitis but his story has so much more to it

[nutter666f]

urmm i gess barbaro is a racehorse, but what happened to him?

[phantom2921]

He was a racehorse, and he broke his sessamoid bones at the start of the Preakness. his owners put him througha lot of surgery and he died(put down) when it couldn't be fixed like 3 months later.

[blindhorsejumper]
