  • As the Fifth Year Anniversary approaches, my tears now fill and ocean, my pain as deep; I rest on "Hope" and "Faith," that this Beautiful Prince, is Running With The Wind, in Heaven's Winner's Circle," with all his pals... "I SHALL LOVE YOU ETERNALLY, BARBARO!" XO

  • beautiful

  • I will always love you Barbaro.

  • thank you so much for this video - I can't believe it's been so long, seems like only yesterday that Barbaro left - he is still thought of and missed and will always be a Champion. The song is one of my favourites and I truly think you did a wonderful job on this video. We have a retired racer (now 23), he raced from 2 years old to 5 years old with several wins. He likes this song and I sing it to him often while grooming.

  • barbaro was a true champion. there can be no doubt that he would have won the triple crown. his loss was, and continues to be, devastating

  • He was so wonderful.

  • I have the utmost respect for the owners, they tried their very very best to save barbaro, but in the end their compassion for his life vs. his suffering was greater. God bless the owners for their efforts and coutless dollars to save his life, as i know many an owner would have put their horse down immediately. But God bless the horse for his inspiration, even for a horse, he left a huge impact on the humans that know his name.

    Rest in Peace, I know you are in God's green pasture now Barbaro

  • R.I.P Barbaro you showed the world that you were a champion!!!

  • Absoultely beautiful video. I love horses. They are so spirited and have alot of energy. My Uncle and Cousin are both ex-jockeys. My cousin works as an excercise boy and also trains horses for the Santa Anita racetrack. Nothing more beautiful than seeing a horse do what they do naturally. I have fallen in love with black stallions. I live in Louisville, KY and love going to churchill downs. Thanks so much.

  • The New baby's name is Margano

  • BARBARO was great horse i cried when he got hurt and anytime i see him i tear up. He is running with the roses over him with his friends Secretariat Seattle Slew Afirmed and Eight Bells. Miss you BIG GUY!

  • I thank you but I cried.Sad how it goes for his famaily.But they are very special you know.

  • Goodbye Barbaro. I will miss you, you gave me hope during a time when I needed it most and when nothing else could make me feel like

    "Things will get better"

    I love him so much for the hope he made me feel. A beautiful Thoroughbred, who left the US too early.

    May he Rest in the Greatest of Peace and run free with God by his side along the most magnificent track,a track God himself created and made perfectly.

  • But every great champion faces the day,

    When no more contenders stand in their way.

    When no more mountains, exist for to move,

    When finally, at last, there is nothing to prove.

    With all of his races on earth finally done,

    This bold, gallant hero continues to run.

    With Big Red, Slew and Affirmed by his side,

    His legacy: Hope! Barbaro did provide.

  • one of the few horses you can call a true champion...Very few horses have the heart and determination as this horse had...He will truly be missed...BUT never forgotten...rest in peace..you ARE a true champion.....

  • did you hear that cracking noise at 1:42 , well that was my heart breaking... <3 luv ya now and 4eva big boy!! <3

  • I hated it when Barbaro passed. It was the sameday that my paint horse died to. But I'll see them again someday up in heaven

  • Thanks for the video...very touching!

  • I loved that horse. I used to own race horses and my favorite one was named Twister, he looked very much like Barbaro. this song always makes me have to catch a tear running down my cheek. Twister won his last race but with a broken leg and an 80 percent bleed...like Barbaro, my Twister had heart! He lives on a farm and does as he pleases now and he is fat. Thank you for sharing one of Dan's songs that catches the essence of the love of these animals and what they are capable of.

  • Thank you for such a touching tribute to a great racehorse.

  • Thank you sooooooo much for this video....

    I cried thru it entirely.

    when I first heard this song, way back when, I never thought I would be able to put a 'horses face' to the memory...

    Barbaro touched the deepest recesses of my heart, (as he did millions)

    Thank you for this tribute to such a beautiful, strong and courageous being.

    RIP Barbaro, I know the grass is sooooooo much sweeter where you are today.

  • At 54 years of age I still cry at the heartbreak of it all. But I take a small comfort in knowing that Big Red was waiting at the Rainbow Bridge for Barbaro. RIP old, friend, RIP.

  • Wonderful tribute to the Champion Barbaro.

    We will never forget..

  • Dear One:

    Thank you so much for this video. Brings back such wonderful memories.

    All Love

    Padme A'Tea

  • Beautiful......He was so brave and beautiful......a true champion.....Once a Kentucky Derby Champion always a Kentucky Derby Champion......R.I.P........The world has not ...nor ever will...forget you....

  • RIP Brave, beautiful Barbaro.

  • I get shivers every time I play this video. I like to think that Dan Fogelberg is up in Heaven singing his beautiful songs to Barbaro and Eight Belles and all of the other beautiful horses that have crossed the Rainbow Bridge. Thank you for creating something that touches my soul. RIP beauties

  • he was born on the 29th and die on the 29th, that's odd?

  • One heck of a athlete.. He is sorely missed. Now he is running at Rainbow Bridge, where we all will beable to meet him someday.

  • What a beautiful Tribute to the great Barbaro,, Dan Folgelberg wrote this song from his heart,, I know they are riding together in God's country,,, thank you for posting this lovely video!

  • So Beautiful -

    RIP dear Barbaro

    Thank you for posting this beautiful tribute!

  • I love you Barbaro.

  • Amen to that...

  • As much as I love this song, and this vid, I can't get it out of my head that it is wrong for us to make majestic animals "perform" to our liking or expectation...

  • We will never forget thee Barbaro

  • I love this song so much; but I hate human control over the majestic Horse.

  • If you can watch this without tearing up, you're not a horse person.

  • no i'm human and i can;t imagine the pain his owners feal now 'i put my 16 yr old westie down 2 yrs ago and it still hurts

  • @centerstage28 AMEN!!! From one horseperson to another...thank you!

  • @centerstage28 Amen, fellow horse person!

  • This is amazing i love this song!

  • Such beauty lost. He certaintly was knocking at the door of Secretariat, Man O'War and Seattle Slew. I only wish we could have seen him longer.

  • Though horses never use words, they speak to us. Sometimes, we forget to listen. And this might of been one of those times. Maybe Barbaro's tragedy finally made us stop and realize what we should have heard all along. Run Free Barbaro...you deserve it.

  • Barbaro wasnt just a horse he was a part of all of us

    RIP Barbaro

  • Thank you for posting this video i have a video like it on my other account number8barbaro R.i.P barbaro i love you.

  • Such a beautiful tribute to such a wonderful horse. As a horse owner and lover this really touches my heart.

  • What a beautiful horse!

  • This video is so sad!! Barbaro was so beautiful!!  Rest in peace big boy!!

  • Oh my God!!! Awesome...touched my heart. Thank you soooooo much!

  • and if he wasnt a race horse this never would hav happened would it

  • o wow they do love to preform, but they love to be free, they love companionship and for i am a person who has ridden a horse and does like horses, i know what is good for them. horses do not starve in the wild they have lots of food. they were built to be tough like that. There not wooses.

  • To those of you that love horses,but have never owned or ridden,etc,let me explain to you that most horses absolutely love to perform,and it's much kinder for them to lead the life of a show or race horse and receive top notch care and love,then to be roaming wild and starving..

  • I agree i am learning to ride Horse back. I love Horses and want to rescue them all breed and the Race Horses Thoroughbreds.

  • @Sabrinacat1 There are a number of organizations where you can adopt ex racehorses for free or little cost.

  • Absolutley True. I Love Barbaro with all my Heart. The horse that changed my life for ever! He will always with me. He has three beautiful brothers here and they are so darn perfect. Nice Video.

  • What an exquisite video and tribute. What a great horse. He will always be remembered and hold a place in all of our hearts. Future horses will benefit from the knowledge the medical professional gained while fighting so hard to save this awesome horse.

  • Right on. Barbaro is a permanent fixture in my heart.

  • 2:26-2:34-

    I LOVE IT!

  • My Riding instructor her Horse Jack is the grandson of Man O' War . He is a real sweet, loving and gentle Horse. He didn't have the heart for racing like his grandfather but he is loves to get loved more. I wish I knew Barbaro.

  • Thats so cool! My horse is the grand son of a famouse horse named Supreme Sulten. he is an american saddlebred though. its cool. he was a 5 time world champion horse. and my horses father is named Supreme Heir and he was a 2 time world champion. And so my horses mother is a 4 time world champion. Hope my horse will be as good! I love my horse so much! He is named Heir Walk. IT is so cool.

  • I created this video for the people who loved and enjoyed watching the career of Barbaro. I have deleted comments from certain people who seems to me are trying to start arguments. If these certain people continue to post comments trying to start something I will block you. To those that have enjoyed this video I say thank you!

  • THANK YOU. It is beautiful. One of the best I have ever seen.

  • You created this video?!Q I know that Dan is smiling! He captured this race and your video captured our heart . .Barbaro! I still his blue band. Dan never met Barbaro here on earth but they have met on the rainbow bridge!

  • @TxLady4485 . THANK YOU this is absolutely beautiful.........steve

  • @TxLady4485 i followed beautiful and gifted horse s career no question in my mind he would have won the triple crown. he was unbeatable. i t will be a long time before we see another one like him may he rest in peace

  • SEE 'Bloodline' Chart @ 2:20 of this video... 'Mr.Prospector' + is the same "Grand-sire" to Doc !

  • Horses are magestic animals. Humans containing them for sport is sick.

  • what's really sad is that the filly eight bells had it ALOT worse than barbaro. But he did fight to live for so long. :*(

  • he was not just a horse he was like a hero 2 all of us

  • Animals impact people's lived drastically. All over the world. Animals have a very nice way of showing affection and love. All animals are great companions because they will love you no matter what you do, act, or look like. They wont judge you like a person would and they will never leave your side for someone else. They become very attachted to the person who loves them. This is why so many people look at animals as Heros, legends, and simply Inspiration.

  • I agree animals are unselfish when it comes to love and devotion.

  • Let's not forget the songwriter, the fabulous Dan Fogelberg! God bless him and Barbaro.

  • you ever think that maybe Barbaro was a hero because of who he was? We're in a war right now and usually something besides a person can have a greater impact on someone. He inspired people and if you look at the date of when this video was posted, you'll see he had just died a few days before. So this person was puting this video up in his honor. type in Dan Fogelberg and i'm sure you'll find a video in his honor too. Barbaro captivaded a nation and the hearts of every horse fan out there. :)

  • Thank you!!!! finaly some one who understands that this horse was amazing.

  • Nice Job .... We thank You !

  • What a sweet dedication to a wonderful and beautiful horse! He is greatly missed!

  • awesome video! i love and miss barbaro so much he was the best horse in the world and i will never forget him he will live i my heart forever!

    R.I.P BIG BOY I LOVE YOU NOW AND FOREVER

  • watching this video brings tears to my eyes--REST IN PEACE MY FRIEND-REST IN PEACE.

  • mine 2

  • go to alexbrownracing

    This is the top horse site in the world where all things equine are discussed.

    FOREVER BARBARO

    END HORSE SLAUGHTER

  • I've watched this video so many times and I still find myself near tears.

  • Great video. That song is one of my favorites.

  • What a beautiful video. This tribute does my boy proud. Barbaro was a one in a million horse that I doubt will ever be seen again. I have to admit though, seeing Big Brown almost makes me wonder if he carries Barbaro's spirit. Too many similarities to be coincidence. These animals are a true gift and are to be treated with the utmost in dignity and respect. My days have been so much brighter, and I have these beautiful animals to thank for that.

  • Barbaro was the best horse!

    Ruffian who???

  • All I can say is...WOW!! Beautiful video...with all the hype surrounding Big Brown and the Triple Crown( and he is a fantastic horse), I still feel sad wondering what might of been with Barbaro...I can't hold back the tears...

  • This one is for the amazing filly, Eight Belles. I know you're up there with Barbaro, Secretariat, Seattle Slew, Affirmed, and Sea Biscuit running, playing, and chewing on Kentucky bluegrass, apples, and carrots in God's great pasture.

    God Bless you

  • Don't forget Ruffian Norasusan!

    I blame breeders for his death. They breed speedy horses over sound ones. If Barbaro was bred better and was more sound he might have lived!!

  • The Kentucky Derby this afternoon and my heart aches for you....BARBARO! You captured so many hearts....You gave such hope and you still do....You had courage and beauty and a one of a kind horse. Wishing race horses would not race so young before mature. Wish they would give more distance between races. Beautiful tribute!

    I just hope those who race honor their horses even in defeat. Barbaro...I miss you and love this song and tribute to you.

  • I miss my boy...I have seen lots of races and great horses. Barbaro's performance in the derby was the biggest beaten I have ever seen. He made the rest of the field look like 5,000 dolla claimers.RIP my horse. It is noy time for pyro to win tomorrow!

  • Let's not forget the songwriter, the fabulous Dan Fogelberg! God bless him and Barbaro.

  • I totaly agree with you

  • WONDERFUL VIDEO! I love it SO MUCH!

    R.I.P Barbaro! You will always be loved and never forgotten!

  • my mom grow up on a farm and i have race horse that is two and almost ready to go to the race track my dad is a trainer for race horses

  • i loved barbro he was the best horse ssomeone could ever had i wish he was my horse i love this song my mom played everyday during the kentucky derby when she was little i wish barbo was still here rip barbro u will always be loved

  • your right you dont know about thoroughbreds unless you race them. There born to run barbaro was only happy When the wind was in his mane and the dust flying in the horses behind him!

    he will be missed i loved him!

  • Most majestic of animals that God saw fit to grace this world with. Ohhh I just can't even begin to express my love for this gift from God.

  • And if the horses themselves don't make a big name for themselves after their racing career, most get sent off the slaughterhouse. Some don't even get that chance. If they don't run fast enough at say, three, they get packed off to the exotic resturant. Horseracing is not a happy-little-girl's sport, but neither is it totally barbic. The owner just needs to be educated about equines and proper care of their animals.

  • Yes, that's right: grooms. Most grooms mistreat theyr charges from spraying them in the faces while at the wash racks, to grabbing their ears and dragging their heads down in order to get the bridle on.*

  • This was a nicely-edited video I must say.

    Well McDreamyGreyer, the sport of racing itself is not cruel, the cruelty comes into play in the way the horses are treated by grooms especially.*

  • Michael Matz (the trainer of Barbaro) would never have a groom on his staff who would treat a horse with cruelty.

    Mr. Matz is the consummate horseman. He has always, from his days on the show jumping circuit to today, put the horse first.

  • Great GREAT JOB! WONDERFUL. Two great living souls, who are now gone. Barbaro and Fogelberg.

  • R.I.P Barbaro and Dan. Racing is not cruelty, I'm a strapper. The horses love to race, unforntunately the other day one of the horses I work with did a tendon, it's sad watching him watch the other horses being worked and pacing up and down his stable because he himself wants to be worked. Most racehorses love what they do, they wouldn't run as fast as they do if hey didn't. It's what they are bred to do it's in their blood but unfortunately accidents happen.

  • My mom had a horse who raced and it got hurt and couldnt run anymore so it just gave up...its not cruelty to some horses its their life, its what they love to do it would be cruel to depribe them of their pleasure...

  • I know what you mean about not REALLY knowing thoroughbreds until you actually meet one, my friend has one who just LOVES to run ALL the time, he's so funny too

  • To people who right comments about animal cruelty have no idea what you are talking about. Unless you have been around the breed thoroughbred horse, they are bred to run and they love it. Unfortuantely bad accidents happen to animals, people,etc.. It is the hard part of life..Barbaro was only happy when he was on the track

  • THis is such a beautiful song....But I have no tolerance for the exploitation of animals for human gain-money. Cruelty. RIP Dan and Barbaro.

  • The horses especially the ones of Barbaro's pedigree and stature live better lives then the people who care for them. If you take two or more horses and put them in a field or even put them on a track sans jockey and starting gate, they would race, it's in their blood, it's what they do. Many horses have suffered the same injury in the fields and pastures, but you don't hear about it because the horses weren't of the same stature as Barbaro or because it didn't happen live on national TV.

  • It is not cruelty to let throughbreds do what they love which is running. You are cruel if you think they shouldn't be ableto do what they live for. It's their life. Not what they have to do. It's what they want to do. Have you ever been near a throuhbred? If you have then you would know how much heart and courage and spirit they have. It depends on the jockey, trainer, and owner to not hurt that spirit and love for the race.

  • No, Dan Fogleberg passed away. He's the one who sang "Run for the Roses"

  • wait... so the jocky died too!!! that is soo sad :((( RIP Barbaro in everyones heart forever!!!! <3333

  • Tonight my friend I will make a toast to innocence and to the leader of of the band. Now it is your turn to join the dance. God Speed. You were both heros who died too young. Thanks for the memories.

    Kevin Keefe St. Albans, VT.

  • Dan and Barbaro are alive in our hearts! Both died to soon.

  • DITTO to Julzug..........

    "Its the chance of a lifetime

    In a lifetime of chance

    And its high time you joined

    In the dance"

    Thanks Dan, your an ANGEL!

  • Heartbreakingly, breathtakingly beautiful. Dan and Barbaro both ran for the roses in their lives!!! My thanks to both of them.

  • Now Dan can sing this to Barbaro in person. RIP. You both have our hearts... for eternity.

  • That can be the best comfort for us now. Maybe Dan is riding Barbaro across the green meadows of Heaven, and they're both dancing forever. As a 6 year old, this song made me realize what it means to give everything for a dream. I have to sign off now before I start to cry again. I love you Dan.

  • RIP Both Barbaro and dan

  • "Its the chance of a lifetime

    In a lifetime of chance

    And its high time you joined

    In the dance"

And i believe he is still running for the roses, just a little higher than the rest of them.

  • This song was written for Barbaro, even if Dan Fogelberg didn't know it at the time. It was Barbaro's "chance of a lifetime in a lifetime of a chance." You did a wonderful job in this tribute to a truly great horse, brings tears every time I watch it. Thank you. . .

  • OMG! LOVE IT SOOOOOOOOO MUCH! I like how you didn't focus on his injury. <3

  • I love this song so much!

  • Barbaro.......he was such a good horse.But now hes in a better place.Rest in Peace.We will once see you again when its our time.

  • well miss Barbaro R.I.P

  • Barbaro kicks ass...horses are the reason we all love my state of kentucky

  • Beautiful tribute to Barbaro! The horse in general can be a real powerhouse when asked to perform,....But yet they are so gentle, loving & very forgiving!......."God Bless Our Faithful Companions"!

    "Rest in Peace Barbaro",......"Rest in Peace"

  • what a wonderful tribute for a wonderful horse, you're a REAL CHAMPION BARBARO..,yes it's true we must give a credit too, on Barbaro's jockey E.Prado... best kentucky derby i've seen..GO run with the CHAMPION BARBARO...Good Luck to the connection of Barbaro.

  • Thank you for such a beautiful tribute.  What a horse. He will never be forgotten, nor will those who loved and cared for him.

  • This is a very beautiful video.Barbaro was a great horse who fought the good fight to the very end and has now gone to a better place.He runs free now alongside other great race horses such as Secretariat in the beautiful pastures of green in Heaven.

  • Don't forget Prado, he saved him! He is the unsung hero. He gave us months to know Barbaro, "if tears could of cured him then he would be well" said by Dr. Richardson after Prado visit. Prado, You are a true hero

  • you fought the fight, barbaro...you must have been needed up in horse heaven...there has to be one or there's no rhyme or reason for anything.

  • Beautiful video. thankyou. i cried and cried.we will all miss our bobby

  • Wonderful video! I cried the whole time. Barbaro has crossed the Rainbow Bridge where he has joined many of the other great race horses of our time. God Speed Barbaro and may we see you again when its our time to come up to heaven's gates

  • Great! I was wondering when someone was going to do a video on Barbaro with Dan Fogelberg's "Run for the Roses"!!!

  • Nice tribute to a super horse. Barbaro RIP.

    God Speed to Barbaro. May God watch over the connections of Barbaro. Barbaro shall have a huge legacy to pass down. May the track surfaces be improved and may the grueling triple crown format be reexamined to allow more time between the long derby and the long preakness for these young colts. And may Am. Horses no longer be treated cruelly by slaughter houses and those very cruel slaughter horse transporters.

  • thank you, I broke down for first time since numbing news, even though I was expecting it. WHY did he break fm that gate.

  • 8 months after injurying his rear leg in a triple break, Barbaro has gone on to try and win Heavens races. Barbaro you gave everything you had while in mortal form. You were much loved and will be much missed.

  • What a wonderful tribute.  We can relate all too well with this loss. I know the owners, trainers and all involved with this wonderful horse will cherish their memories.

  • this is a great movie!!!!

    rip barbaro you little champ!! we will always miss you!!

  • Barbaro, we will never forget. We will meet again, Rest in Peace.

  • Poor boy, he was such an incredible horse and all heart. What a fighter. He was so young too. RIP Barbaro. :o(

  • Excellent blend of music and photos! Captures the personality of a champion.
