  • I know how much it hurts. We love you Barbaro!! We will never forget your brillance!!

  • I really didn't think I could finish watching this, it made me cry.

    . .

    I remember following several reports in my local newspaper when Barbaro's injury was brought to light; even more, I remember people writing letter after letter to the paper wishing Barbaro well, hoping for the best.

    . .

    Years later, this still breaks my heart.

    R.I.P. Barbaro! You inspired us all.

  • I love Barbaro and if he wouldn't of died.. *blush* it was my dream to tutch him l8tr i my life:'( but i kan't do that now right?

  • Barbaro really was a great horse, I really thought he was gonna make it..I tear up everytime I watch this video

  • i miss u soo much barbaro!!! i thought u were going to make it i hoped u were u almost made it though R.I.P boy i love u!!!!!!!

  • I remember how happy we all were, to see him go outside and graze...

    You almost made it, Dear Champion. And now, because of you, so much good is being accomplished. You fill my heart. I Love you so.

    Missing you...Your FOB Fren, O

  • I miss you Barbaro!! I cried when I saw this, The song goes beautifully with the video! =(

  • He is great

  • Wonderful video. He died too young. This made me cry. Rest in peace my dear friend I will never forget you.

  • A beautiful song for a wonderful equine. Barbaro..may you ride like the wind up in the sky. I loved this footage of him.... he was a magical horse to watch... and thefan base is incredible.... he was a stunning looker with great cheeks:):):), just everything about him... the way he was on the track, to being around people with a heart of gold..and a caring eye. A pleasure to have watched.. you will never be forgotton Barbaro xx and for yr strengh and bravery........... xx

  • This makes me cry!!

  • @Kulaness

    You can thank todays wonderful veterinary care for Barbaro's 'fight'. Back then, when Ruffian died, they didn't have pools that horses could wake up in. That, ultimately was why he lived for 7 more months. Until, he devoloped laminitis. He took it all in stride, but couldn't handle the pain anymore. Thats why they ended his brief life.

  • RIP

  • My baby!

  • @Kulaness I live with a QH.. I know how stubborn they are...

  • I'm going to name my model horse after him. R. I. P. Barbaro. Because I believe in reincarnation, I wonder what animal he came back as...?

  • I LUV U BARBARO!! ❤❤❤ Great Slidshow btw!

  • He has the same markings as my tb, <3 so beautiful

  • great race horse: barbaro

    beautiful video

  • @ sarawr4ever just shut up. I have never even heard of the horse you were talking about, and quite frankly, I don't care. If you don't like Barbaro, get the crap out of this video.

  • That is an excellent memorial to a beautiful and fantastic horse. I watched the day it happened and almost everything about him afterwards. Having lost a horse of my own before, I know the pain of losing a beloved friend. My wife and I help run a rescue here in Colorado and I second your request for people out there to help support a local rescue. These are beautiful and incredible creatures. They dont have a voice so we need to speak for them. Thank you for the video.

  • WOW. I hate it how everybody cares for a horse because it died. Barbaro and Ruffian have to be the most-ovverated horses in the world. Yes he was a great horse, but not best ever? HA! What about Pine-Island?Exceller?Ferdinand­? Their fates where much more gruesome. But hey Babrbaro won the K-derby! -_-

  • shut up masmdds. he was th best

  • It was a stinking horse, people. There are people dying all around the world, and you're belly-aching over a stinking horse. You should be ashamed of yourself.

  • @masmddds a lot of the people that are "dying" are the ones committing suicide. YOU should be ashamed of YOURSELF for not caring about an animal that is one of the most popular. This is not just a "stinking horse" this a legend and his legend will live on forever. He made me love horses. Since you commented on this video you must have watched it you're wasting your time telling us what to do so shut your trap and don't watch videos about a horse legend ..

  • @masmddds Why should we be ashamed of ourselves? Maybe you could tell us how many people who were dying all over the world would have been saved if we hadn't cared about Barbaro.

  • @masmddds SHUT UP HE WAS MANY HORSE LUVERS HERO I ADMIRED HIM I HOPED ONE DAY I COULD GET A HORSE AS GREAT AS HIM SO SHUT RTHE FUCK UP GET A LIFE

  • @masmddds it was a horse. horses are way better than people. a horse wouldnt stab you in the back would it? no. they are loyal.. so stfu

  • I am so happy that they are still those who love him! I miss you!

  • Echaré de menos que ¡oh gran caballo que Dios te bendiga

    I will miss that great horse oh God bless you

  • god bless barbaro a legend in his own right

  • ¡Oh,gran caballo!.

    Ya estás en el Olimpo de los caballos grandes y nobles.

  • This video is hard for a horse lover to watch.

    R.I.P. you are a champion of champions 4 ever in our hearts !

  • great viedo i miss him so much

  • I've never seen so many Americans actually be untied over something. Barbaro connected everybody, once they saw him pull off the track, everyone was devistated. He was the greatest horse I've ever seen. I know America will never forget this great boy. ):

  • @ILYKRISADANI - Not just americans, there were a lot of Canadians who were affected by the death of Barbaro. He was a champion in the making.

  • @Nucleo85Torino i for one am one of those canadians

  • if he wouldnt have been raced like this he would have been alive and making someone very happy. :( curse those people

  • @chestnutcutie1810 He was fullfilling his purpose and making people happy doing what he was doing. May we all be lucky enough to do that.

  • what exactly happned? i remember but its a little fuzzy...

  • @horserider23141 -

    He shattered his hind leg in a race they tried healing it, but an sickness caused his other foot to become bad and they were forced to put him to sleep.

    R.I.P: Barbaro

  • RIP.. He was fortunate enough to get medical care. There are many racehorses that things like this happen to but they do not receive any medical attention.

  • barbaro is king big king

  • very sad

  • he is missed

  • You're right TimGunn, there should be no petty arguments on this page (ashamed). This video is both beautiful and tragic at the same time. Barbaro was a star when he was on this earth and now he is the brightest star in the sky. RIP beautiful boy xxx

  • you guys!!! stop fighting! I'm like bawling right now it was so beautiful and I will miss him so much ='( I LOVE YOU BARBARO!!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • barbaro had to be put down because of getting lame!!!!!!!!!! poor barbaro!

  • @iloveCASH100 If you read the info he had to get put down due to laminitis. This doen not just mean that he was lame. Laminitis is an excrutiatingly painful condition where the bone in the foot (pedal bone)becomes unstable and can rotate and even protrude through the sole. (laymans terms). I'm sure if he was just a little lame after recovering from his his injuries they would have just put him in retirement; not had him put to sleep.

  • i know i am not as stupid as you think, i know why he had to be put down i know what laminitis does... OK? laminitis is almost the same thing as lame! OK? i though most people wouldnt know what laminitis was so i put lame! ok? im NOT STUPID!! K? gal...

  • I never said (or thought) you were stupid! OK!!!!!! There was no need for that kind of reply! Not everyone knows horses! I was just trying to get accross that he was not put down due to lameness only.

  • i know we should both shut up!

  • sorry but me and my friend got in a fight so i was in the worst mood possible! sorry! :P

  • @iloveCASH100 Sorry too :))

  • well done on this video...!!

  • i remember watching the derby and(as our tradition from our living room floor was) my brothers and i picked out the horse we thought would win, i picked number 8 because he was pretty and looked like my old horse...i dont remember who my brothers picked but it wasnt til after the race i realized the horse i picked, Barbaro, had won and i cried when he got injured and cried again when i found out he had to be put down i <3 this horse though i didnt even know him.he was amazing.still is amazing.

  • Horse bite and kick...Yikes!!!!

  • omg pic at 1:19 made me cryy x

  • OH SHANNON...my fav as always! Just have

    to watch it all the times!

  • Uprussia here to say Good Morning. Hope You have a Nice Day. Don't fall of your horse. Bloody awful taste in music though, I'm afraid to say

  • i love him

  • he was a beautiful horse! poor guy :( R.I.P

  • Hes a good fighter ! I love him

  • They saved him as long as they could, he was in a lot of pain! they could have put him down a lot earlier! It happens in racing.......

  • He wouldn't be in that pain if Racing didn't exist it kills horses.. More horses die then finish the race when they retire their killed in slaughter....

  • @WestlifeFan1995 .. No if racing didnt exist, the horse would never have had life, Not that many die actually.. When they retire they go to be brood mares, companions or riding horses actually :)

  • @HazeB91 Horses have lives! unlike us humans... There is a difference between running for fun and being forced to!

  • I felt bad for Edgar. Especially the hate mail he got-people who probably don't even know about horse racing blaming him for Barbaro's death. He saved the horse by pulling him up.

  • Yeah, you are exactly right. At least by pulling him up, they had a better chance of saving him and it gave him a longer life.

  • this realy is a wonderfull video,,

  • That is the saddest yet most beautiful tributes ever! What a wonderful, courageous horse he was!

  • Its sad. They tried hard to save him, but in the end it killed him. He's still the best colt I've ever seen.

    Besides Phar Lap.

    R.I.P

  • I don't care about the the rest of the race!All I want is for him to be alive!He was put down on my B-Day!!!!!!

  • R.I.P !! :'(

  • А как песня называется??

  • Thiss make me cry this so nice (L)

    that horses are een legend :o

  • We all miss Barbaro :(

  • Omg... I must cry.....he was a legend behind seabiscuit

  • i cryed threw tat movie

    luv u barbaro!!!!

    R.I.P!

  • i love him i wish he was still here but atleast he is galloping on in heaven without a fear or any sorrow and atleast he is no longer in pain

  • That really made me cry, he was beautiful bless him!

  • @LenaZavaroniClips

    me to :(

  • barbaro you are a fabulous horse

  • I am ini love with barbaro and i am in eternal saddness I LOVE YOU BARBARO!

  • Obviously. Going around calling people retards because they dont absolutly ADORE Barbaro.

  • Even though Barbaro may be gone, his legacy will always live on with the true courage he displayed in the fight for his life.

    We love you Barbaro!

  • I can feel the same pain R.I.P. BARBARO you are and always will be in our hearts ,,,,God Bless You forever...

  • God, even though that was 3 yrs. ago, I still cry every freakin' time I think of him! This tribute was phenomenal! I wish he was still alive, I bet he would have gone on to win the Crown! God, I'm crying right now. Great job!

  • Really NICE!

    I'm crying now... i loved this horse...

    5stars&fav.

  • To be honest, I love horses. But I hate Horse Racing. It's cruel to push these wonderful animals to their limits, just for fame or fortune. Barbaro fought long and hard, and his spirit has taught us all to be strong. God Bless, Barbaro.

  • still America's horse? since when was he not? he totally deserves everything we have done for him, MORE VIDS!!

    awesome, fantastic in every way, a real heart stopper. thanks ;0)

  • Barbaro is STILL Americas horse! We Miss you Barbaro!! :(

  • This stuff on Barbaro always makes me cry X::0

    I LOVE U BARBARO!!!

  • I still think of Barbaro, He is America's horse . . . Thank you for posting . . . never should we forget

  • R.I.P. Barbaro, there will never be another horse like you. Your breeders hoped your brothers would be like you, but they are fools.

  • barbaro was a wonderful horse but nothing could save the poor animal. this hosre is a winner and always will be

  • I saw this video about Barbaro a few years back, I forgot the name....but it went like this "Beyond the horizons, across the sea"! If anyone finds please let me know!!!!

  • It's also about 4 minutes long.......I think!

  • very nice :) *tear* he was an amazing horse. Rip Barbaro, you will remain in the hearts of many to which you touched by your strength and disire to fight :)

  • i hope that when barbaro's brothers start racing that Edgar Prado will be the one to ride them if he wants he is a great jockey

  • if it wasn't for the laminitis barbaro might still be here but there was nothing we could do to prevent

  • I loved Barnbaro!

  • Did you own barbrow ? xx

  • I loved Barbaro!!!

  • Wspaniały filmik :)

  • Thank you so much for sharing this video. I cried watching it because I was so touched to see how cared for and loved Barbaro was...All horses and animals should be loved this much:-)

  • You can Really tell Edgar Prado had such a deep connection with Barbaro, It's unfortunate of him to lose a friend as are we.

    You were a winner and will always be a winner Barbaro. R.I.P.

  • Great video, We will never forget!

  • He could have made it all the way.

  • That was beautiful, god bless Barbaro and my heart goes out to his owner (jockey) I don't know his name poor guy was heart broken ...imagine if we all felt it I can only imagine what he felt it's horrible he was a BEAUTIFUL HORSE. R.I.P BARBARO

  • I love you Barbaro, never forget...

  • he died 9 days after my bday.. i cried for hrs and even days.. i couldnt believe it.. hes still n my heart and he won the heart of evry one.. he was the best horse,, its not bout winnin its bout how much heart they have.. and he had a lot of heart..

  • barbaro wanted to stay! he fought until the end! hes the best fighter! i started crying since my horse broke his leg and we had to put him down

  • that's pretty arrogant

  • rudeness

  • i love this video its soo amazing he was such a great champion i miss him soo much!

    R.I.P big guy

  • Still my fav by my fav Nordic Princess...

    Luv U bunches, Shan...

    pamie

  • they die but every still races how very cruel xxx RIP all race horses

  • I know this was VERY trajic, but Shouldn't we all ove on. No I'm not talking about the vid, since it was made in 2006. Im talking about the comments. I know he was "America's Hope", but still. Dont get me wrong or anything,I LOVE horses to death. But this was in 2006. This is 2009!!!

  • not in every situation is "moving on" the best solution.

    also, don't confuse moving on with remembering. we've moved on, but we'll never forget.

  • Great Song !

  • Wow what a pretty horse. At least he fought for as long as he did, he was a fighter. Awesome vid sorry he passed :(

  • I love you Bobby. I guess the angels wanted you more.

  • aww

    this made me cry

    i cant wait to be up in heaven so i can see my old horse and Barbaro again.

    may he rest in peace <3

  • good bye our fallen angel the world misses you and you are always on our minds

  • I felt sorry for Edgar,he loved barbaro and when he was put down....:'(

  • Barbaro will live in my heart forever. He was a great racehorse who showed us his heart that long year while he tried to recover. The Jackson's tried everything they could but in the end God wanted Barbaro with him. We love you Barbaro!!

  • Those people don't fucking care about Barbaro they're just upset they won't be making any more money off of him! The horse racing industry is a disgusting corupt greed strickin place & it makes me ashamed of my fellow equestrians!

  • I Dont Really Like Horse Rcaeig Either Escpecialy As They Normaly End Their Life In Slaughter But Then So Do Most Chickens Cows And Pigs .

  • If they hadnt cared about him then he'd have been put down at the scene! All his veterinary treatment would have cost an absolute fortune and with a shattered bone he'd never have competed again. So he was saved to be able to live out his days in peace and happiness. They did all they could out of love, if it was money they wouldnt have bothered! Rip Barbaro x

  • I agree some people are like this however if Barbaro's owners were like this they wouldn't have spent thousands on treatment to get his leg better, even though he wouldn't be able to race again, they would have had him shot at the race like what normally happens.

  • I came across this post a few wks ago and it completely choked me - I am now watching it again!! It is so so sad and heartbreaking.

    U did so much for Barbaro. May he be happy.

  • aww this is a beautiful video, and so sad cause he had to be put down :(

  • in class im writing a book about barbaro and my dad might can get it published!i love barbaro!!

  • I can't even watch this video again - Sitting here at work and fighting the tears - I just cannot beleive how emotional this has made me feel. My Dad had a race horse called 'Follow Charlie' and he had to be put down due to a fall - my father must have been heartbroken.

    Keep smiling

  • i got home one day and i broke down. Til this day i can not stop the tears when i think about him, or see another of his supporters. He is a racing hero, and will be loved and missed forever. No one could ever take his place. Not even big brown (which was proven when he lost).

  • it was not curable because it only got worse as time went on. They had to remove most of his hooves. It was one thing after another with him, and they did all they could. In the end, they said if he showed ANY signs of pain, then it would be time. When he refused to eat one morning, they knew he had enough.

    I did not personally know barbaro, but he was my horses cousin. One whole side of their pedigree was the same. I watched from the derby, until they put him down. My mom told me when cont...

  • How sad.

    But Laminitis IS CURABLE, I know several diagnosed cases where it was cured PERMANENTLY. Most of them are well documented, and also a general study is started to make it scientific, not just private.

    Just because common vet medicine doesn´t come up with a solution, that does not mean it`s incurable.

    And not everything you do not know to heal is genetically inherited.

  • omg i love your video. i'm really fighting back tears. i loved this colt! the song fits. Great video!!!!

  • Realli gd but sad :(

  • Once again I´m crying! He was so wonderful!

  • :'( Larmes & tristesse sont avec nous Barbaro (L) Le jour ou tu t'es envoler tout ces effondrés tu a laisser des souvenirs inoubliable derrière toi :'( Sa ne devait pas arrive :'( tu etais tellement fort , tellement beau , et tu avais tant de choses a vivre :'( la vie es injuste de t'avoir enlever de ce monde :'( Barbaro un nom qui restera dans nos memoires a tous jamais (L)(L)

    :'(:'(

  • he reminds me so much of my horse, its really unfortunate they couldn't keep him

  • Look at the concern in his eyes. Barbaro fought a long time. Good job barbaro. I still have faith.

    <3Barbaro

  • Barbaro was 3 years and 8 months old when he died.

  • How old was he when he was euthanized?

  • 2 1/2 i thnk

  • We still Believe in Barbaro !

  • I couldn't even watch the video it was so sad. Amazing job, though. Barbaro will always be remembered.

  • Barbaro was such an awesome horse. I loved the video, it made me cry! It is too bad he could not be saved, so many people were praying for him and he could not have had any better care than he recieved. Good job everyone for giving this horse a second chance.

  • this made me cry so hard...we took my pony to the new bolten center also when he started to colic..it is a wonderful place and i bet Barbaro was very happy there:'(

  • I feel so bad for Barbaro. Barbaro is so adorable. You did bring me tears,and i could see he was a very loved horse. Love horses and Barbaro is an exaple why!

  • ok, first of all, it's not horse slaughter.

    the horse frickin broke two ankles so they had to euthenize it

  • Awesome video! We miss you BArbaro

  • Such A Amazing Horse R.I.P x

  • As many of us know horses do have personalities, Barbaro was a perfect example of what a loved horse can do. He won the Kentucky Derby without being whipped!

    Barbaro will never be forgotten for his has brought thousands of people together from all over the world.

    Thank you Shannon, your video will always bring tears to those with a heart.

  • Poor baby.
