  • @HorseMager101 he was three

  • Good video. It is sad to know that Barbaro turned 4 years old the day he was put to sleep.

  • @HorseMager101 no 3 months before he turned 4 oh well u did not no

  • @neddynesbitt he was already 4 when he died because the Horse Racing thing does age differently with throughbred racing horses the 1st of every January the horses are all a year older and mares don't have foals in march usually its mostly in late january and early febuary.

  • Barbaro was definately one amazing thoroughbred....and yeah he loved to run it was not just in his blood it was in his heart. He truelly was a hero. Nice vid thanks for posting it <3

  • you guys have no idea what actually happens behind the seens of a race track we do not take advantage of our horses and we are in the horse racing industry how the hell do you think grand prix jumping or anything like that is better then racing horses. race horses have the best life all they do is run and if they seem like they dont like it then you retire them and things like barbaro are just freak accidents .dont judge a book by its cover race horses have wonderful lives. whips-make noise

  • You were ... no you are king Barbaro. I miss you soo much. Rest in peace dear Barbaro. I hate ppl who care more about money than animals. They are soo stupid ppl.

  • I never forget on this BESt horse :(

  • Sometimes people care more about money, but not all the time. And certainly not in Barbaro's case. He loved to run. You could tell by the way he fought Edgar Prado -who I condone greatly for paying so much attention to his horse that he pulled him up at the first sign of trouble- for so long. Did it look like his trainer, Micheal Matz,cared for the money when he darted to the track? Did it look like Barbaro's owners just cared for the money when they put all that effort into keeping him alive?

  • you should get a sadder song

  • uhhh...I think you missed the point of the video...but ok.

  • beautiful horse - but my favourite racer was the black filly "Ruffian"

  • I HATE how people race horses...it's so stupid!!!!!

    people just race horses for money! horses mean more then money you know!

  • Michael Matz, Edgar Prado, and the Jackson's all just wanted Barbaro to live, Gretchen Jackson even said that they didn't care if he ever would be able to be a stud, they just wanted him to be healthy and happy.

  • hey have u ever been to a ractrack do you kno how well race horses are looked after they run thats all they do till the age of up to 5 and then you retire them o and the whips dont hurt they just make a noise

  • @HyPeRaCtIvEnEsS12345 No actually it the age of 10 when a racing horse is retired considering i have a few friends who own them. Oh and if u think really hard you would also know that Big Brown the thoroughbred was retired in 2007 because he was ten and he was becoming a slow horse and he was lame.

  • there goes my hero!!

    he was my hero my whole life and still is now~!

  • i still cry about his death

  • ill alaways miss you barbaro

  • The song is "My hero" by Foo Fighters. From the 1997 album "The color and the shape". The Foo's are probably my favorite band. Green Day is good, too. I hate rap and hip-hop and all that crap, though. What....oh yeah, I almost forgot, this is about a dead horse. Er....um....goodbye Mr Horsie. RIP I'll never forget you. You've inspired me to previously unachievable greatness. There'll never be another like you. Mr Horsie, you were the greatest horsie in the history horsiness.

  • Beauty!

  • can anyone tell me who sang this song and is it called hero

  • The song is My Hero - Foo Fighters

  • he is a true hero he fought the battle i will see him some day in heaven barbaro i love you

  • Thank you for a video that doesn't show the breakdown. We need to remember him as he was without the gory details.

  • omg he was so beautiful. Poor baby. He's in a better place now, though, where he can run as much as he wants. We love you, barbaro

  • He's not gone,he's just gone home.

    He loves running,that's probably what he'll always do heaven or earth!Run.

    He was a beautiful horse though and i'm happy that he'll always be remebered.

    He's inspired a lot of people to never give up.

    Just like him.

  • running was all he lived for. But in the end running took his life. But Barbaro will never stop running. Wether it be on this earth or in heaven. He wont stop intill the end but there is no end so forever he will run. wether it be here on earth in heaven or even in our hearts and dreams.

    Now we lay you to rest dear friend so you can go on and run the next race.

  • What a magnificant horse. Hes SOOOO beautiful! He probably misses you as much as you miss him. Dont say goodbye. Think of the good things about him and the memories that you shared.

  • this is so sad :( i think losing a horse is the hardest thing but barbaro look as if he had a gr8 life xxx

    farewell barbaro

  • Please do not say goodbye,because goodbye is forever and we will meet him soon. so please say farewell dear friend. R.I.P Barbaro

  • (barbaro)

  • Hey, ya'll take care.

  • well u r doing the right thing

  • i have 4 ex racers 1 yearling and 1 pinto paint all the ex racers were born on our land and the yearling i love all of my horses and i would give any anything to make them confortable and happy they were never pushed to the breaking point and if they were i would kill the joky they are all have there own personallity and i love them with all my heart

  • true but thats where we step in! we can buy thoes horses!! we can make a difference! thats why the U.S is kinda messed up! al we do is talk and no action! if we can take action then we can SAVE the HORSES!!

  • You're correct. My family alone, has adopted three horses from the slaughter pins. The only problem is that there are sooo many horses that need to be adopted out there, for an assortment of different reasons, so we simply cannot adopt them all. Secondly, horses that are kept properly,are expensive, so it takes a rare few who can reasonably adopt these horses. The professional horse racing industry as well as other competitive horse sports, produce more horses than the market can absorb.

  • horse racing is not the same as slaughter!!! if the horse is passionant for running and he loves wat he does its worse that killing him!!! keeping him from wat he loves is worse that death!!! but if he doesnt like 2 run thats a different story!!

  • Some horses like to run, yes. Horses that win these races are often treated very well (other than being whipped in the process of the race). Many of them are even retired to the sponsor or owners stables at the end of their careers because they are seen as icons. The horses that loose are sold, often ending up in slaughter houses because no one is interested in race horses that cannot win. So winners have a pretty good life. The loosers are at the mercy of the cruel racing industry.

  • not true we have a filly about 6 years old and she is a thoroughbred we raced her and she could not even finish the races but we treated her like all of our winning horses she is my little baby and she has so much personallity i have 6 horses and one on the way 4 are exracers that we bred and raced a yearling and my pinto

  • That's great! But I wonder do you do race them as a hobby or are their races the main source of your income. In other words, are you in the busisness of making money off of them for career purposes? Those are the situations that I am more referring to. If you are just in the business of racing horses you could not afford to keep them all. That's what makes these horses so vulnerable to slaughter houses. There are always exeptions. I'm glad you are one of them.

  • my grandfather is an electrition and he makes 300 sometimes 500 dallars on one job so racing is i guess a is hobby most of the money goes toward stuff for them and a portion goes to us . the way i see it is that if they are the ones who won the money they should get most of the money for there hard work .

  • sorry i meant 3000 or 5000 dallars

    but i am gald that you are a horse lover and care so much about them when i get old enough to run the stable i am going to adopt abused horses and horses that just need a little more care and give them the best life i can

  • That's great! Good luck with that.

  • I Don't Like Horse Races. The Poor Things, And It's All For Our Pointless Entertainment! 5/5 Great Vid

  • omg, that is so true, IlikeBear! =[

  • Horse Raceing is harroble my horse used to. Thank God hes not screwd up. A lot of raceing=Ingery=trying to fix=Put Down

  • he had a life he wanted to race ok and it's life you can't stop it i tryed but we nevre won

  • people it's life get used to it

  • its the horse who did all the work so give the horse credit and attention not the cruddy bich of a human!

  • racing horses arent supposed to be ridden anyway ur fault cause u didnot care racin is no good the horse matters more!

  • its ur fault he died.

  • STOP HORSE RACING! Its the same as slaughter.

  • no it's not your over reacting ok

  • no shes not over reacting what she said its true C'MON PPL yea they like to run so put 'em in a pasture not a horce race u greedy beoches who horse race its the wrong thing to do and did you know if the horce gets to old they'll send it to slaughter ang get a nwe one till it's warn.!

  • personaly i hate horse racing because if the horses arent stars then at the age of like 4 or five they r sold to slaughter or the breg a leg, just my opion

  • more to add,remember the race he broke down at,remember what the owner of the horse that won said,he said and i quote "its a sad thing what happened to barbaro, but thats horse racing" i am not against horse racing, those horses are bred to run and love to run, but before you say just about any horse can do what ani race horse can do, think twice

  • sum1 giving there opinion does not make them a whore and horse racing is bad in some parts love4horses they just dont show it the racing industri has the ups and the downs it all depends on the owners and trainers there are a lot of owners out there 4 the money and not for the horses at all but thats in all horse related sports not just racing also idk ani trainer other then horse racer trainer gallop a 4 yearold

  • I totally agree with you ! well said.

  • Horse racing isn't bad at all.. if they have cruel heartless owners and trainers, then thats a different story, these horses love to run, same as if you decided to go for a gallop along a trail the same thing could happen to any horse, not just a racehorse

  • I love u Barbaro rest in piece!!!!

  • barbaro was a brave and powerful racer. im am sad to see him go. he was a good example of what a racer horse should be like!!!!!!

  • my sister had an xracer he looks a bit like barbro he died he won 78k but great vid

  • I love that song! ;D Awesome video, Ilyy Barbaro. :'[

  • ♥ ♥♥♥♥ ♥ ♥♥♥

    ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥♥♥ you,B-A-R-B-A-R-O

    ♥♥♥ ♥♥♥ ♥♥ ♥♥♥

  • i think barbaro is a good example of the lethality of horse racing. he was lucky to have the kind of owners he did, being helped as best they could. but never the less, it is those that race horses who put thier lives at risk. i find it sad that barbaro was lifted into such a light place in the hearts of human beings, when it is us that kill horses as ruthlessly as we do; especially in the racing and cross country industry.

  • you are the biggest bich / whore i have ever met thats what those horses are bred for and thats what they love to do i no it's sad when they break down but they are ok with the risks they just want to run get it got it good you little bastard

    Beautiful job, made me cry. Approriate song choice, he WAS our hero.

  • You are a great champion. When you ran the ground shook. The sky opened and mere mortals parted. Parted the way to victory. Where you will meet me in the winner's circle. Where I will lay a blanket of flowers on your back. RIP Barbaro

  • Beautiful video..I love the words eventrider wrote..is this from a poem or did you create it? He truly was magnificent.
