  • He was better than secratariat... Better than Ruffian... Better than Zenyatta... And better than Rachael Alexandrea... (my opinion) God Bless Barbaro... The Greatest Horse Who Ever Lived.

  • never forgotten , what joy you brought to all of us ..just to admire you grazing on mother earth

  • I adore him ... For me the best and most impressive racehorse of all time !!!

  • BARBARO U R THE BEST HORSE EVER WE WILL NEVER FORGET U!!!!

  • 1:10 hey, the horse on the left looks like Ruffian...

  • Barbaro was a great horse, I was there during his KY Derby race and I watched him during the Preakness race. My sister was with me, and we were hoping they wouldnt race him after he had his false start, we knew something was wrong with him. Sadly, his injury, as well as the one Eight Belles had are a result of inbreeding to get the fastest horses we can. Disgusting really, the horses are paying for our greed with their lives.

  • Will everyone just stop talking about Barbaro!!!!! It reminds me to much about my old horse Silver Solider!!!!!

  • nice video :) such a shame he died he didnt hve to die horse racing is cruel and should just be stopped its ridiculous i watched emergancy vets n a race horse was on it it hadbeen backed at one raced for a year thn thy said it wasnt fast enuff a woman baught it n it had to b put dwn its just sick yet another horse life ruined thru racing :(

  • it's more than pervers, that a horse must pay with his health, his soul and even with his life for the voyeuristic and sick needs of the people.

    my heart bleeds.

  • It's been 4 years... and still I cry everytime I see videos or pictures of him.

    We miss you so much Barbaro! 

  • barbao, your short mane would sparkel as you took flight down the tracks, your hooves puonding to the beat of our hearts, your long strong legs would tear the tracks as you stormed over the finish line in a remarkable run, every race you won, until this one final day...our final race as you shot oyt of those large gates seeming to be watching your beauty... RIP my barbaro...i can remember when me and my sister first saw you as a foal...mom and dad never knew you would be such a racehero. RIP

  • What's a name of this song ?

    please tell me

  • ;"""(((

  • he was an amazing horse if that break down never had happend he would of made it all the way to becoming a challgner to battle the great zenyatta. theres no doubt in my mind then to great champions would have gone head to head...all the way to the wire.

  • @Miggster500 Know U the name of this song ?

  • @endi100 Man On Fire

  • @Miggster500 Thank U so much :)

  • Barbaro and Seabiscuit, my favorites!

    rest in peace! <3

  • That is a huge amount of potential profits that are wasted. Very sad. That little rider should be never allowed to race again. And perhaps even sued. Did they preserve any of his sperm, or was he sent straight to the Knacker? Sad.

  • i used to love watching him race :(

  • seriously this is why i'm against horse racing... he's bones werent fully developed cause he is a colt! people are retards!

  • @horsechick100 no colt are suposed to race at that age right? i think he needed to gain muscle strength

  • @CJay669 

  • @CJay669 nope they should be running in a open paddock not race the kentucky derby!!! their bones arent fully developed yet :-/

  • @CJay669 Every horse starts running at 2. 3 year old horses run the Triple Crown. Juvenile perhaps, but not infants or toddlers by any means. And to be clear...99% of racehorses live to breed. Barbaro was a really sad anomaly. A really good horse brought down in his prime...sounds like a lot of humans I know as well.

  • @horsechick100 Hey I was just watching some of these videos and I wanted to know why do they have to euthanize a horse when they get a broken leg

  • @highflya9290 Once a horse breaks their legs its almost impossible to heal, they will just be in pain, they can't be riden anymore and its better to just put them outta pain. usually horses like barbaro they arent fully developed yet. also a horse really can't recover because when they break their legs you can give them rest and not ride them just leave them be they still cant use crutches and stay off of their foot. they cant lay down either because horse cant lay down for long periods of time

  • @highflya9290 Horses arent like other animals. With dogs and cats, you can amputate the leg and they typically can live a fairly normal life. You cant do that with a horse. And horsechick100's right- horses legs in relation to their weight arent that supportive. Its very rare that a horse can break its leg and have it heal completely well enough for them to do anything ever again, whether it be racing or just chilling out in a pasture.

  • yeah i cried when i watched this i loved barbaro so much and then that acident was so sudden you know but you know he is still alive.... in out hearts and always will be hes happy and not in pain anymore in the racing stables in the sky cos if they had tried more after one of his feet healed he would be in great pain but atleast hes still alive in out 1. soul 2. heart 3. memories answer= all 3 just beleve in him and yourself.

  • holy shit !!!!!

  • I love that horse he and eight bells are my favorites

    R.I.P buddy ill miss ya

  • dislike. not because of the video but because of his injury

  • R.I.P MT♥

  • Already 4 years ago... i hope he's happy in the Fields of Eternity

    R.I.P from Holland

  • @1Forester1 3 years**

  • anyone know the Music>> its beautful

  • @trezpazz

    Lisa Gerard, Soundtrack Man On Fire

  • sad storyy :(

  • Shut the hell up some of you, horse racing is not abusive. If you say this sport is abusive them you obviously don't know ANYTHING about it, therefor it would be of your best interest to keep your fuckin mouths SHUT because people who actually do know how the sport is run and acted upon get sick of hearing your no-good, totally FALSE bullshit.

  • Ohhh pooooooor babeey... :'( HORSE RACING ISNT A SPORT ITS A CRUELTY BAN IT, do you think these horses enjoy being whipped like crazy to run faster than they should its cruel and things like this happen when they are made to doso, so BAN IT!

    Rest in peace, little angel. ( Barbaro ) xxxx

  • @GeorginaEa  shut up Stupid....

  • @trezpazz No i dont think so, i stand by what i said!

  • @trezpazz well youre still wrong ..but l admire that u took a side least u arent sitting on the fence

  • @trezpazz Thank you, and i still think im right, sorry if others dont.

  • Rest In Peace barbro you will never be forgotten

  • ich kann leider kein Englisch, doch ich finde es traurig, das solche Pferde schnell verletztungen bekommen. Areite auf einer Rennbahn und kenne daher viele Leute. ich finde es traurig, den sie haben auch schon viele Tiere verloren!

    Ich Trauere mit dem Besitzer oder der Besitzerin!

  • but ya know he died cause the jacksons didnt want to see him suffer no longer so i support their desison he was a great horse and will always live in our hearts we all miss him but if he lived he would be very un comfortable cause he wouldnt be able to run cause his leg heald in an strange way so it was better to end it before he suffered any more

  • me to its soo sad

  • Barbaro was truely an amazing race horse that will NEVER be forgotten.

  • Whats your name is song?Thank you.

  • I was SO disappointed when Barbaro got injured. I just knew we FINALLY had a TC winner after such a long drought. I was even more saddened when they had to put him down. RIP Barbaro.

  • I hate this deviding people - animals. Yes, its animal..animals wanna live like people..and often they are better than people..And Barbaro died for people:/ Im from Czech..and many horses died in Velká Pardubická race..i ride horse all my life..and Im so sad for these poor horses:/

  • I wanna cry..:(

  • Now and forever in our hearts...Running in heaven free of pain..now and forever!

  • just a horse????!! if youre mother dies then its just 'a human'

    RIP barbaro we still miss you!

  • Animals can be just as important to some people as humans

  • Horse are like people. And I think people sould understand that. Every animal should be treated the same as a humman. Barbaro was a one of a kind horse. He should be though as a a best friend and not just a "HORSE"

  • I still can't believe he had to leave us. It seems like the race was just yesterday. Barbaro maybe gone but he will never be forgoten. <3 Barbaro

  • Oh and btw below i was responding to leglessfish234's outrageous comment below .

  • Wow, only an idiotic, ignorant, person would use the phrase, "it's just a horse" because you obviously dont understand life in general. Barbaro was an amazing, unforgettable horse and what happened to him was a tradgedy. He tried his hardest in every race and probably would have won the triple crown. I'm going to have to stop this comment now though because words can not describe this animal, that is obviously not, "just a horse". jerk.

  • this almost made me cry because of the music and the sad pics. I never really knew Barbaro until I heard about his injury then I realized he was a true race horse and a true fighter. RIP. Barbaro. A horse that'll never be forgotten.

  • R.I.P. Barbaro, we'll never forget :(

  • R.I.P Barbaro!!!! u were SOOOO AMAZING!!!!

  • If thats How u Feel WHY did u Even Watch the VIDEO??

  • one of my favorite horses of all time, RIP BUDDY!!!

  • It's pretty sad that in this day in age, with all the technology we have, that there's not an easier way to save injuried horses.

  • oh my god he was the perfect horse with the perfect life he died with no regrets....RIP barbaro!

  • het is heel erg dat barbaro zijn benen heeft gebroken en er niet meer is het is mij een groot verdriet barbaro goodbye

    Joyce :( <3

  • Many were restored fully. Yes, for those for whom difficult case, for those for whom laminit became chronic - these horse to the end of life need the special care and permanent therapy. We put to sleep none of horse. It is sorry Bordo(((

    Hurry - hurry, Bordo on a rainbow)))

  • Not knowing a situation and methods of treatment which were applied it is certainly difficult to reason, and the more so does not make sense to lay someone to not humane attitude toward a horse. Laminit (even sharp) treats oneself, there is a great number of methods which we returned horse mobility.

  • you made my cry with this vid. I have seen other vids from him, but none like this one. Its so sad they had to authanized him. He will always be remember as a great and unique horse. he was so gorgeaous.

  • Whoww An amazing video i even cried!

    he was a great horse!!

    I love it!!

  • omg. barbaro raced greatly and then had an accident and died. isnt it obvious? most of the thoroughbreds are raced to young when they aren't fullly developed. its sad how people could be so cruel to pput a horse at risk like that. how many horses have fallen and gotten hurt or died. racing is a grate sport but its a stupid decision.

  • I have seen this video so many times!!! I have no words for it!!!! The story about Barbaro is very sad and the perfect song is attached to it and that makes it very emotional....

  • It's from Liza Gerrard. It's also the soundtrack from the movie Man On Fire. Can't tell you the name of the song but here on youtube you can find it!

  • :( <3

  • By the way, any piano experts out there happen to know the notes to the first minute of this clip??

  • OMG watching the first minute of this clip put a tear in my eye, thanks for the post!! What an amazing horse!!

  • It has been a while and i still cant fully believe hes gone. great video.

  • i love this video<3 so sad. r.i.p barbaro

  • a very, very beutiful video <3

  • i would of done the same thing. he was such a good horse.

  • I added this video as a favorite about more then a year ago. It's really heartbreaking to see what had happend and the music really suits the video. I'm a huge horsefan from Holland, even i have never seen Barbaro... it's making me emotional!

  • There always has to be someone who needs to stand out in a crowd.

    Your doing exactly what he wants, because he wants your attention and your response.

    Please everyone, don't waste your time.

    "Original" has chosen to be the way he is.

    Whatever we say or do cannot change that.

    Opinions are like a mouth, everyone has one.

    Just let it be.

  • @myex0ticlove Hi :) My friend and I are wondering what the song is for your GOODBYE BARBARO video?:) The video is so beautiful! so is the lovely song! :) Thanks so much.:)

  • See? I told you that everyone her is thinking that you have no heart.

  • omfg r u even a human? u seriously hav NO feelings!!!

  • Ok since you say you will continue to call him a farm animal until he turns into a human being then I'm going to call you "it" until you grow a heart.

  • hahahaahahaha thats right ur a "it" er what eva u r cuz u cant be a person cuz u hav no feelings.

  • OMG This is all I have to say. Your heartless! Accept it!!! And calling him a farm animal again only proves my point! You don't like getting these comments about you? Then don't post disrespectful things about how other people feel.

  • Comment removed

  • Stop calling him a farm animal! For chirst's sake if you have a heart you need to show it more!

  • Wow! I've heard of people being heartless but you take it to a new level.

  • An animal or not, it still shows you UNCONDITIONAL love.

    I beilieve animals are put on this earth to show us just that. "A little peice of heaven"

    NO ONE deserves to be mocked or made fun of for their feelings, or actions to cope with grief.

    Please be more respectful...and really take the time to think about what you are saying.

  • "Original" Your words are very cruel.

    It's very upsetting the way some people think....

    When you become so attached to an animal, it becomes part of your family.

    And when a family member dies, a part of you dies too, am I correct?

    Death is death, no matter what. Its very hard to deal with, and however a person decides to cope, is their choice. In this case, a funeral. This horse was a legend, and was extremely loved and respected by many.

  • What the hell is your problem anyway? If you don't like the horse, WHY are you posting a comment on a video about him? You MUST have known you'd get a lot of people angry? Is that what you wanted? I hope your satisfied. And you want to know what else? BARBARO ISN'T A FARM ANIMAL!!!! He's a RACEHORSE. Seriously, you are a MORON. He was special to A LOT of people, not just the ones around him. What kind of sadistic person are you to poke fun at an event that was such a sorrow for so many people?

  • I take a size small.... I want one in Pink plz .. to match my saddle pad I love my farm animal Ernie he is my baby ^.^ He is satan pony but i still love him though even though no one else does... :P

  • y do u keep calling him a farm animal? because hes not

  • biotch

  • holy shit!!! wtf is ur problem?? aparently u dont no how special racehorses r? and barbaro was 1 of them!! and horses r lik people, they have feelings!!! and probably more than u!!!

  • Okay, OriginalChosen1, u sound like a heartless person who couldn't care less about animals. Barbaro was a champion race horse, not a farm animal u retard. He captured America's heart and of course ppl were gonna grieve. If u think a funeral was over the top, fine, but u dont have to b so rude about it.U can say he's just "a freakin' horse," but horses have just as much character as ppl do, sometimes MORE. Obviously Barbaro had more than u. Grow a heart, u heartless bastard.

  • Just a quick message to people who worry about horse racing: Don't worry, horse racing is definetly not cruel. The horses are always very well taken care of. Just think of them as an olympic athlete, someone with a great talent to show off. :)

  • its sad what happend to barbaro they did everything they could and barbaro faught to the end rip boy run with the best of em

  • whats the song? great video!

  • If there is wasn't racing, horses wouldn't be sent to slaughter because they loose a race, or beated 30,000 times per race. Have you noticed most racehorses die at like age 10?

  • He is better then you.

  • Then your not a horse lover r u? To me he was a special horse not just any horse he was special

  • very good video love it whats the song?

  • They should have just put him down, when they realized his leg was broken, he didnt need all that suffering... R.I.P little one, youre in the clouds racing with seabiscuit and secatriat, and ruffian, and the rest...

  • Yea, telling us not to jump horses untill they 4 or 5 but racing at 2?

  • To my mind,his owners should put a statue in memory of Barbaro at the race-course,where his career had begun or where he had won Kentucky Derby.

  • Yes, I am quite sure they are putting a large statue of Barbaro at Churchill Downs site of the Kentucky Derby!

  • Rest in peace dear Barbaro...

  • barbaro prolly would have lived but because he got laminitus he died and not all racehorses die from leg injuries n abuse look at lost in the fog

  • I'd stop horse racing if i could. No doubt.

  • I don't want to stop horse racing, but rather ban steriod use and make it safer by not letting horses race untill 3 or 4 years old.

  • I think that horse racing should stay but the drugs they give them is bad steriods are half of the problem but i don't think Barbaro was on steriods and in the post parade Barbaro was limping and got out of the gate before the other horses i think they should have scrached him!!

  • The poor horse would not be dead if it was not for those lame fuck heads who raced him!I fucking hate horse racing a very brutal sport do you guy's even know what happens to them when they lose several races? Makes me sick! A riding horse is broke at the age of 3 or 4 race horses are broke at the age of 12 months...i cannot grasp how fucked you must b e to do that to a baby a jockey beats a horse up to 40 times per race with a whip even the little ones .

  • your logic is retarded casey12882 some horses are hand ridden through the whole race AND most horses are sent to homes that rehabilitate and retrain racehorses to become riding horses after they lose several races only the money grubbing "richard craniums" of the world send em to slaughter so shut the freaking pie hole cuz you dont kno didily freakin squat and ruffianA101 he wasnt limping in the poast parade he stumbled right after his second start and thats when he broke it

  • this has to stop!!!!!! two graet horses have been lost for the same reason a broken leg or something related too it barbaro and ruffian it has got to stop!!!!! its makeing me upset :'(

  • wonderful video. Poor Barbaro =(

    He was a beautiful horse!

  • Good Video!!

    he was euthanized 3 days after my birthday!!

    :'(!!!

    What is the song called??

  • Love you Barbaro R.I.P

  • Thats cool. I'll visit him in Heaven someday. Thank you mariasmon. :)

  • Oh hehehe. Barbaro is with EightBelles and the Slews? Hey, where do get this stuff from? How do you know this? And I know the people that are reading this probably think I am dumb, but I really do believe that is where Barbaro is, I love you Barbaro so much! REST IN PEACE!

  • What do you mean Barbaro is just fine? Do you mean he has a happy life in Heaven? CAUSE HE DOES! He is probably with all of his horse friends up there. Yeah he's is heaven and he's in my heart too. *sniff sniff* Great video myex0ticlove!

  • Barbaro Deserved Better His Life Was Perfect Till That Terrible Day Where His Heart & all of our hearts BROKE!For All Eight Months He Struggled For Us! To Show Us He Could Make It & Keep Our Hearts Whole..but He Knew It Was His Time! & Told Us All To Stay Strong! & Always Remember Him & That We Did! We Will ALWAYS Remember & Miss You Barbaro♥

    Love:Vickiee♥

  • I love u barbaro! We all miss u! Your a great racer. Your the most amazing horse ever. If you didnt go in that race, you'd be happy and have a healthy life. We couldnt save u in time! I'm sorry that u didnt make it. Stupid jockeys only race u for money. You were a true and loved champion. We love u barbaro and you will never be forgetton. Rest in peace. From Steph & Elena

  • rip barbaro you are missed by everyone

  • i miss him and EightBelles!

  • this made me cry really hard

  • Although my favorite is still Scretariat, I was so so sad, when heard of Babaros fate. He was really a wonderful and amazing horse! I hope is now in a place, where is forever spring, where it it is always warm and the grass is green! We will always remember you! You will be always in our heart!

  • Barbaro never gave up, which gave the nation hope for his recovery.

  • horse racing should be stoped it is sad what they make these horses do. if he wasnt racing that day he would still be a happy and healthy horse.. people that race them they know the risk but to them its all about the money.

  • Barbaro, u were an amazing horse. I'll never forget u as the wonderful partner taht u became. I was so upset when we could do nothing further for u. I'm so sorry that we couldn't save u. U'll run through my heart for as long as I live. U were a true champion and I'll never forget u for that. U'll remain in the hearts of many...for as long as we live. Goodbye for my last time boy. U're never forgotten by many ppl and especially me.

    I luv u..have a great time heaven. Show them what u're made of.

  • He foaled the same day my pony did!

  • I don't no what to say about that...

  • As very good friends with Barbaros owner I feel very sorry and it is scary because of this years incident(2008). That was very scary to see. R.I.P Barbaro and Eight Belles

  • they shold have put hem down on the track

  • They loved him enough to give him every chance they could.

    h4ea12, you are simply rude and should keep your thoughtless comments to yourself.

    It's sweet that so many people loved Barbaro.

  • When Barbaro jumped the gate he should have been pulled from the race. He was telling us something was wrong and we did not listen. We were captivated by the beauty of Barbaro running at full speed. The next Triple Crown Winner. Racing needs to make alot of changes, that's obvious. However,Barbaro was very lucky to be owned, and loved, by the Jackson's. They spent millions to give him a chance at life. How many owners would have done that? RUN FREE Barbaro..you are in the company of champions.

  • How many more need to die?Ruffian,Barbaro,Go for the Wand, Landseer and now Eight Bells + 300 other no-name racers in the last year. England put down another 174 in the same period, all race injuries- 77% were fractures of which 30% were multiple fractures like Eight Bells. Limits are needed-move age up to 3-4 yr olds, lower # races per yr,uniform track surfaces, and COMPLETE medicals before each race. Small problems (in bones,tendons,muscles) become big ones running at full speed.

  • For the greediness of a few you condemn all. I had a thoroughbred, her whole life was running it was was she loved most, though she never raced. I did dressage and jumping and yet the injury she sustained that almost killed her came from her taking off for a total of 3 strides. She was happy and loved, and well cared for. All it takes is a split second. Barbaros owners cared enough to pay extensive vet fees and put him down when it was just too much instead of putting him down on the track

  • thats sad

  • Thats sucks that Barbaro died another horse just died name eight bells she hurt her two frount ankles

  • the first thing i thought when i saw her go down was "barbaro"

  • its so sad that he is gone!god bless all who tryed to save him

  • You know what was really sad he was euthinized the day before my bday!I was cryin a lot on my bday cause I was a huge fan of Barbaro!X(.. I want to thank all of the people that tried to save him!Bless your hearts!At least hes in great hands now and will never be forgoton!RIP Barbaro We miss and Love you!

  • This is sooo sad! It made me cry too. Barbro will aways be remembered :(

  • god i miss barbaro and the sad part is he hurt his leg 3 days before my birthday so i didnt have a real good birthday cuz i was sad

  • I guess too many people thrive on tragedy and gory dtails, Poor taste for showing the breakdown. This horse needs to be remembered for what he accomplished and for his millions of admirers without the incident that caused it shown so vividly. Shame.

  • thats soooooooooooooooooooo sad:( i was almost crying but my mom definetly was.

  • I am crying like crazy... but I know my father, lord, and savior takes care of him in heaven.

  • OMG! Poor horse.. :'( I'm always cry... That was so sad... and hopeless.. :'(

    Am.. this is stupid question, but what is the name of that sad song? :'(

  • I'm sure he loved that nice little whip on his hind quarters too, huh? I could see that in his eyes!

    18..wow, that's pretty young, you know that right? What'd they do, bute him until they finally ran out?

  • I have a TB neclace, it has a horse galloping, with a jockey, and sometimes, i hold it and think of him, and i cry. the thing is my father died not long before, so i only hope that my father takes care of him up in heaven.

  • barbaro was such a sweet horse, he didnt have to die, he lived such a happy life. all those years he was a champion, and then this happened. i cried when i saw on the news that they put him to sleep. :( :( :( RIP barbaro

  • Do you cry for Darfur and all the US personnel in Iraq or are you just too attached to animals?

  • im not too attached to animals im allowed to feel bad for a poor little animal that died and i grew up with animals my entire life so dont you think i should be attached to them?

  • Wow I'm pretty sure horses have nothing to do with people in Iraq, what a dumb question.

  • Not at all, it has everything to do with her emotional state- and what she truly values and loves.

    Don't call something dumb because you can't get your head around it.

  • ^_^  .

  • but he was bred to be raced.. you could see it in Thier eyes that they loved running... thier accidents could have happened to anyone.. like we always stubmle randomly and break our arms in gopher holes.. (well not really) there accident were random.. i am not trying to be mean.. but you can see barbaro loved running and so did ruffian and all those otherss..

  • barbaro was a hero he should be bareid next to ruffian live free barbaro we will miss you we do miss u

  • Heroes run into burning buildings when everyone else runs out.

    ...what can you expect with someone with a tag like Leodecaprio?

  • Hey, thank you for commenting on Barbaro. He only knew what they asked of him, so I believe he was a hero! Anyone that disagrees is wrong...

  • ...How do you gather that he is a hero? The poor animal was put through HELL so that they could make money on his breeding fee.

    Then again, racing is sooooooooo romantic..Right? I mean, who really cares that they beat the crap out of them?

  • this horse is a legend.

    he should be renamed

    brave hero!

    he suffered too much to live

    poor horse

    i cry more for how much he suffered than because of his death,

    i love you barbaro< my soul!

  • this horse is a legend.

    he should be renamed

    brave hero!

    he suffered too much to live

    poor horse

    i cry more for how much he suffered than because of his death,
